Wanting

Wanting O hapless breath that drags with life pulls out with slow demure. And hope clings still more desperatley behind each still closed door. I'll wait the everlasting dream, less patiently

Cats, Toast and the Vengeful House Imp

It was a clear, cool autumnal morning, when the neighbourhood cats became obsessed with my toast. Not just slightly interested. Not just sniffing curiously at the edges. Obsessed - in a full-on Stephen King / Steve Buscemi eyes / psychopathic stalker kind of a way. It was disturbing, freaky, not to mention downright abnormal behaviour for a creature of the feline persuasion. I've never seen cats act this way before. Marmosets, dingoes and aardvarks, yes, but never cats. Let me tell you what happened¦

The Story of Adolfo the Fisherman (a true story)

Death has a thousand doors to let out life; I shall find one (Ph. Massinger) No one going to chaperone the girl at seventeen on her trip to Spain! She felt free. With a girlfriend she went for a two week long holiday in Spain. The bus took nearly a whole day to get to Barcelona. There they slept in a narrow hostel and then flew the short distance over to the island.

Heavy pilots crashing on my kingdom

Heavy pilots crashing on my kingdom, my sorcerers told me. Faerie dragons are plotting a rebellion, as they don't like the piles of metallic junk on their enchanted grounds. I knew a pilot some time

Whatever the eye beholds.

Whatever the eye Beholds The difference between you and I is something that only you and I notice. To others, we have two eyes, two arms and two legs and function in a similar bio-mechanical fashion. In Shakespeare's classic. " The Merchant of Venice," we have the classic soliloquy "Have we not two eyes, two legs?" etc.

I've been staying at my Mom's house in Ashland, OR. I've accepted a job at a university in Thailand that starts at the beginning of November. I passed up a job in Korea that payed three times as much with approximately the same cost of living. I did so because the Thailand job has fewer hours and is located in a very small city surrounded by Buddhist temples. I hope to use my free time to continue my study of the world.
