The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas) – REVIEW
September 10, 2022
I know a book is of special value when I reach the 700th page, see behind my right thumb a mere sliver of sheets left to devour and react by slowing down my reading pace to that of a koala so overcome with a particularly potent batch of Eucalyptus that movement of any kind, conscious […]
What will happen if Russia surrenders the war to Ukraine?
September 5, 2022
Russian forces appear to be steadily moving towards their main strategic goals. Once the East is cleaned up – which was always going to take time given the industrial factories and bunkers from soviet times very much fortified further over the last 8 years – Kherson will probably be the next focus, before Nikolaev and […]
The colour from out of space
September 5, 2022
Disturbing, erratic, curious. Hardly an avid fan of Lovecraft, but close to all my delvings into his writing have amazed me, for his voice was unique. His prose rich, dark and ever breathing life or seemingly shedding brief light upon the cruel and unknown to modern man vast depths of the universe moving in not […]
Does the Lightning worry how it looks?
August 30, 2022
This period of confinement, I had thought to be fertile ground for writing pure and brutal, for my woe has never been so dark and grim. Even now, I find my eyes watering as the flesh winces, the mind recoils aghast, the spirit howls forlorn. I have become so accustomed to this, that I […]
Trust in the dragonflies courting…I smile in a vanity of hopelessness,
June 6, 2022
Who can I trust? Beyond a handful held ever beloved, only the rivers and tides, blizzards and winged beast singsong abounding, when the humans remain aslumber… I still feel the howl of my homosapien kinfolk, beyond any Left or Right.. beyond any identity politics, when their howl…. I hear/feel/find more powerful than Sun or Moon […]
The positivity of paying for a killing…
June 6, 2022
We have been paying taxes towards mass murder, pillage, war profiteering… I am complicit. We all are. And it has all been the KILLING and BOMBING, to line the pockets of our corporate overseers, for too many moons… whilst we at best awkwardly pretend that we pay to slaughter people, somehow for their benefit??? more […]
Being alive
May 24, 2022
I seem to have always existed in this odd state of finding no comfort feeling anything less than immense, intense, alive, thriving, wild, free…for good or ill. Yet curiously, or perfectly, when in Nature, when my senses are prised wide open by diving into the cold tide symphony ever rising and falling, heaving and longing […]
Schwab is the epitome of EVIL??? Find a Better Way To LiVE…
March 22, 2022
I am appalled and close to dumbfounded by the gullible 99.9% of people who are blindly, believing in the same vile corporate/state very much bedfellows scum, who lied to us about Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine and that ‘quiet genocide’ in Yemen…I paid for the mass murder and mutliation of these people. These […]
bumble fluttering with petals for wings…
January 25, 2022
This period of bother, some have aghast, solemn expressed of the agony I must be experiencing and am, and of the fertile ground for torment I was never expecting, ill prepared for, which I should be writing plumbing depths, and offering reflection. I prefer to reveal the reaction to the snippets of pain I never […]
Alexandre Dumas – The Black Tulip
January 7, 2022
When fumbling through the ancient first english editions of many Balzac offerings in my haul recently, I came across this quaint little obscure Dumas novel and wondered when I had bought it, and also why I had not ever heard of it before. Must have been swept up in that hysteria which consumed me after […]
