Bee's Journey - (the last leg)
We take it for granted that to make a journey is to travel from A to B, but it's not always as simple as that. There are often so many stops and...

Diagnosis a True Beginning
I remember the look on my face as it melted and slid like The Scream to a puddle about my shocked toes off the floor. And in that cracked second I...

The Surgeon - (dedicated to my surgeon, Mr. Haneif - who was so kind)
He guides us past the earth's drop and catches us lightly in a fall of stars; flies us through a flare that sears bright through our hearts at the...

Posted on Tue, 22 Mar 2016
This is written in a way that opens up feelings kept mostly from the surface, at the same time as exploring and understanding the motives behind other peoples' emotional responses, exaggerated by the fact of young motherhood. There's those...

Posted on Fri, 01 May 2015
Such a perfect flow to this, Ed. To take a tiny detail and examine it from all aspects and see it in all colours to create a gem of art like this takes a talent for seeing deceptive simplicity. Every detail is developed so smoothly, till the end...

Hi Vera.

Hi Ed.

Hi CM.
