Sorry if I’m posting a lot of videos lately (but they’re
only short ones, so that’s OK) but this one has me struggling a bit. You see, I
can’t decide whether I find it mildly amusing, deeply sad, or supremely
horrific. Each reaction would say something different about me, wouldn’t it,
and I came to a strong suspicion yesterday that if there is any purpose to
life at all, it is to know thyself.
‘And what would be the point of that?’ I hear you ask. Ah,
well, that’s where it gets complicated and a bit too wordy for a mere blog
post.
So, if you’ve got a spare five minutes and you’re up for a
little test, you might consider watching the video and evaluating your
reaction. Only you need know the result. It’s nobody else's business.
I've never had money because I've never been driven by money. I received little formal education beyond the age of sixteen, which isn't such a bad thing since you get a different angle on life that way. Learning what you want and need to learn often reveals things that the system's road keeps hidden.
Anyone interested in viewing the availablity of my novel Odyssey or novella The Gift Horse can do so here.
To Be Retained...
...until death do re-unite or the Priestess return to Avalon.
Khalil Gibran on Children.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
OMAR KAYYAM ON REGRET.
The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
Herman Hess on Nobility
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self .
Free Fiction
I have another blog called A Handful of Stories on which I've posted some of my short fiction. Most of it has been published by a variety of independent small press publishers, so somebody other than me must have thought it worth reading.
All the permanent pictures and some of the posted ones on this blog are my copyright. Most of them, however, are placed with a picture library which holds the licensing rights. I don't, therefore, have the legal right to grant permission to use them.
An Inhabitant of the Hungry Ghost Realm
This character appears in one of my short stories, and also in the novel. He's sadder than he looks, poor thing.
