Nine minutes to One, part two – Like Her And as he grew he dreamt of the mountains. Vast ranges of freedom in which his ideas would fly and soar through lake-filled valleys in the high passes, and his heart would beat in a different way, as though the body she fed had no place in those heights. And as he grew he … Read More Nine minutes to One, part two – Like Her

Nine minutes to One – part one, The Bridge of Falling Later, they told him that he had not come from the mountains. But that was much later… In the beginning there was a storm on a mountain top. He is falling, tumbling, blown by the gale as he falls, like a thing that no longer has a home there. There is lightning … Read More Nine minutes to One – part one, The Bridge of Falling

I’d told them before, the chromatic lens effects were just that: blue light…stuff and nonsense… And they had smiled, kindly, and another pint of Guinness had arrived in the old pub in the forest. And then the dream came and the bar vanished. And I was in this bright wood, alone with the blue light…and two old stone mills, that whispered, “Follow…” Now the … Read More Spinning Blue

I am proposing to add a new word to the English language… The new word is ‘Tesseracting’; and I want to use it to replace a beautiful word that, in my opinion, has been degraded to a point where its use is compromised – that older word is ‘Ritual’. My interest in the tesseract began as a result of the work of Stuart France (one … Read More Tesseracting

It was early December, 2015, in southern San Francisco. Bernie and I were on a week’s holiday in the USA. It was not cold, but was raining, which was good news for drought-ravaged California, as the first sustained rainfall for several years streamed from the skies across the state for most of our visit. This very British rain did not dampen our spirits, … Read More An Egregore called Dickens

Christmas and New Year have always been special times for me – Christmas more than the New Year, as I have always come to view the Winter Solstice as the start of the the truly new, rather than the formal ending of the calendar’s twelve months. The solstice sees the nadir of the visible light, as the solar ‘victory’ changes the face of the year … Read More 2015: Looking back from December…

Terminal Outbreath ——- You know my sighs, and yet, I am a stranger to your knowing; Though not your eyes, which, Drinking in my flowing, See me. ——- As vision sees the fleeting blink, As petals bid farewell To the last drop of dawn’s clear ink; As the young bird triumphs, briefly, in the uplift of a feathered wing ——- And even here, … Read More Terminal Outbreath

(Image source) Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 40 – The Obedience of the Heart .Alexandra. Little furry model animals don’t normally do much for me, but this one, placed in the middle of our usual table in the cafe, made me giggle. It had big doe-eyes, the sort you’d see in Japanese comic books. With somewhat smaller eyes, at least proportionately, John was … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 40 – The Obedience of the Heart

.Alexandra. I wasn’t late, but the object placed ominously in the middle of our table suggested I might be… “Morning John,” I said, warily. “Is this supposed to tell me that time is running out – that I’d better get enlightened quick or you’ll pass the time with another acolyte?” He stared at me, saying nothing, as I digested what I had just uttered… … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 39 – Twins of Time

.Alexandra. “The story of Heracles and the Golden Apples begins with failure…” I said. “It does,” replied John, sipping his latté. “Just as, in the first story, with the Wild Mares, Heracles gets a bitter lesson that never leaves him, with his failure to protect the life of young Abderis, despite his success in overcoming the wild she-horses.” He stopped, then, and looked at … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 38 – The Three-sided Coin
