For most people their first 'book experience' are magazines (heresy, I know) or, for the braver souls, prescribed volumes in school. This experience either ignites or extinguishes what would later become the life of a bibliophile (or lack of it). My first book experience was the delightful volumes of Linda Chapman's My Secret Unicorn - … Continue reading The Library’s Opinion
Revelation Reveries
Rule number one: never write for the masses. Write because you have something to say. Write because it's something to be heard. It took me a long while to realize this and in some ways I still am. From a young age my nose could be found in a book, and my thoughts in some … Continue reading Revelation Reveries
Once Upon A Wish
A maiden walks a forest path late to come across a fountain of honey Its price: golden coins of money to sate Carrying words of wishes dear Only to be swallowed up by the fishes clear Carried down to depths of knowing Later whispered on fair winds blowing...
Little Light
What is a candle that it should burn so bright at night? Its flame neither big nor warm and yet it calls out its hope against the advancing darkness A battle cry of importance Tis when the Light called us
D is for Dubai
Our flight lands in Dubai in the morning, for once not taking us half an age to get somewhere. The city is a gem in the desert. The wealth covering every surface shines brighter than the sun bearing down on the latticework shading the flower trees. The Palm beckons as we enter the Atlantis hotel's … Continue reading D is for Dubai

From her head grew majestic antlers bearing the seeds of life that sprouted trees where they fell. Radiance was her mantle and kindness her virtue. But she was alone, one half of … Continue reading Peace
Perception of Loyalties
Tonight there be a sky of fire as the Angel played on his lyre A tale long foretold by the Prophets of old Of rubies, myrrh and pots of gold Looking on... The King marched to the funeral pyre of his dead Queen, branded a liar
S is for Scotland
Tis the land of whiskey and unicorns. No, it's not Ireland - which has beer and leprechauns, and which is in fact its own country, separated by the Atlantic as it were. It's not England either, but history would argue, "I say sir, wait just a bloody moment!" Bloody indeed. No, Lass, this be Scotland! … Continue reading S is for Scotland
T is for Thailand
A spa day and some green tea... it was decided that Thailand we must see! Cathay Pacific takes us via Hong Kong and I get the urge to explore it one day. We land in Bangkok - it's a very busy city with buildings in variety. Shacks litter sidewalks of esteemed hotels while abandoned houses … Continue reading T is for Thailand
