Leaving a World Behind

Written on Wednesday 2 Jul 2003

Did I, after all, enjoy that…? The first two weeks of the course, boring, lots of work, no fun, barely even sunshine, bad food, and we all complained. And now at last, week three is over… laziness, sunshine, playing frisbee, drinking, and the masked ball… seeing friends but it seeming...

Life's Rose Waltz

Written on Thursday 26 Jun 2003

Life… is a song. For different people, it has different melodies, different beats, a different feel. But it’s still a song. And there are those who dance to their song and flow with their life. There are those who stand uneasily on the dancefloor of life, clutching their pint of...

A Thousand Summer Days

Written on Tuesday 27 May 2003

Ah… good day, good day. The sunlight sleepiness of the morning, the fun of the afternoon, and a peaceful evening too, with the coloured lights of the town shining like a double constellation, on land and reflected in the sea… I thought about carrying my camera around today, but then...

Coloured Lights in the Darkness

Written on Saturday 24 May 2003

Sitting on the windowsill, staring out at the funfair lights across the water, and dreaming… It’s a brief rest from the weekend’s business. A meal out yesterday, barbecue and five visitors to the house tomorrow, Trawler Race Day on Monday, to Bournemouth for the night on Tuesday, then back to...

Cards with Changing Faces

Written on Thursday 22 May 2003

I got some new Tarot cards today - for once, a normal set. I’ve gotta say, I’m really impressed. The deck’s called the Celtic Dragon Tarot, and the artwork is very nice indeed! Looking at them though, reminded me of the deck I made for myself, just over a year...

The Nature of Barbecues

Written on Monday 12 May 2003

Well, about 2 o’clock this afternoon we decided to have a barbecue. About 1 o’clock in the morning, I’m sitting on the stairs in our house, listening to Bob Dylan and swigging Scrumpy straight from the bottle. And I’ve got to go to work tomorrow morning. Well, this morning really....

The Nature of God

Written on Saturday 10 May 2003

The word “God” means “That of which nothing greater can be concieved”. So, the greatest thing there is, is existence itself. The universe, multiverse, or whatever proves to be the whole of existence. I’ve never really liked God being represented as a big bloke with a beard or anything like...

In Memoriam

Written on Monday 5 May 2003

“I make my back, to the hometown that looks just the same. The schools and the factories, standing alone still remain. But the faces have changed, and the ones that I knew are gone. And I hear the laughter and voices still echo my name…“ — Celtus, “Rosa-Ree” The places...

Burning Dreams, Fallen Worlds

Written on Monday 5 May 2003

Our minds are nothing. Formless, timeless, existing within ourselves as a paradox, something more than the sum of its parts. They are “us”, but without the physical components of ourselves, they cannot function. All is silent, untouchable, odourless, tasteless… dark… Igni But within our minds exists something very special. We...
