O Lord, thou knowest
how busy I must be this day. If I forget thee, do not thou forget me.
As far as I know, Sir Jacob survived the day. (But he still
died in the end anyway, so what the hell.)

...until death do re-unite or the Priestess return to Avalon.
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.
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.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self .
This character appears in one of my short stories, and also in the novel. He's sadder than he looks, poor thing.
About Me
- JJ
- Ashbourne, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
- 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.

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.

I'm not all that religious, but I'll be praying for you tomorrow. Please let us know how you are doing, when you feel well enough.

You're too kind, Nancy. Thank you.
Oddly enough, I feel fine. It's the medics who are stirring the muddy water with their blasted machines. But I suppose they might be right so I have to go through the motions. There are several possible scenarios here and I'll be sure to keep you posted.
(Please don't suffer sore knees on my account.)
