Welcome to this jumble sale of writings, musings, observations and inspirations: I hope you find something to help you on your journey home. It's all storytelling, in the end. That's how we understand things; the stories of who we are, where we came from, where we're headed. The stories of other people, how they came to be who they are, which stories shaped them, why our stories sometimes run parallel, and sometimes clash.
When we're motivated enough, we can change our stories, write new outcomes for ourselves and our people, our planet. All it takes is imagination, where there are, genuinely, no limits.
Warmest regards

Monday, February 23, 2009 at 04:18AM Before the track makes Dursey
You find a tidy green field, upland against rocks,
Cambered to catch the slanting sun
Where straggling, dirty sheep drift, disorderly,
Distant at the edge of the gale
Like foam at the top of the strand,
Straining headstrong across the long curving combed mounds
Where the fevered tubers caught the rot.
This neat, sad, loyal tending
Even the grinding salty air does not kill.
