Whether they know they’re jokers or not, the antics of jokers keeps me amused and then wary of my own tendency to be a joker. By a joker, I am not referring to a homicidal maniac who seeks to cause chaos for the sake of it as well as to annoy Batman. Neither am I […]
Read More Thank God for … JokersI don’t keep a diary, but sometimes I make notes. As a result there are notes of things I have thought over the years. From time to time I enjoy reflecting on those words and where I was when I wrote them. There have been some really dark times in my life. Truly, deeply dark. […]
Read More Thank God for … Dark TimesThere is a big thing about vision in some circles. It revolves around having a bigger picture approach. That is something that has its merits. What I am particularly thankful for, however, is the capacity to see things as they really are. It’s easy to get that horribly wrong via the things we allow to […]

Read More This is CompleteHe was still startled by the nature of the letter, especially the main part. I was uncertain at first, I didn’t always like or understand what you were doing.

Read More I Will FollowHe said he would never leave her, but here she was in the dark, afraid and alone. It was a long time since she saw him and the look on his face scared her more than anything. It was as if he didn’t know her. He gave that vacant look as he slowly closed the […]
Read More When It Doesn’t Make Sense“What’s with the scarf?” she asked, “You used to wear scarves a long time ago, apparently, but they were ridiculously long. What’s with this?” “Never mind that,” he muttered in a brusque manner, “I wear scarves now. Scarves are brilliant. Especially in keeping my neck warm. Come along, we have things to do.” When they […]
