| Bio: | Hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel Pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer Black and cold Like a piece of lead Misguided angel Love you 'til I'm dead [Cowboy Junkies "Misguided Angel"] ~ Reclaiming my London roots whilst working for one of the biggest companies in the world by day. In my precious downtime, I set to assuming the mantle of "silver-penned cavalier" and, untethered, chisel away at a number of (currently) more modest endeavours that lie closer to my heart and a truer calling. Complementing a long-standing handwritten journal, these cathartic on-line musings place at least some of these thoughts into the public domain. Herein expect to find an eclectic mix that takes in pretty much anything inspired by this writer's state of heart and mind and that innate drive to commit such thoughts to the written word. "One day, you'll ask me to speak of a truth, of the miracle of your birth. To explain what is unexplained. And if I falter or fail on this day know there is an answer, my child, a sacred imperishable truth, but one you may never hope to find alone. Chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite, your protector and endangeror. Chance embarking with this other on the greatest of journeys, a search for truths fugitive and imponderable. If one day this chance may befall you, my son, do not fail or falter to seize it. The truths are out there. And if one day you should behold a miracle, as I have in you, you will learn the truth is not found in science or on some unseen plane, but by looking into your own heart. And in that moment you will be blessed... and stricken. For the truest truths are what hold us together or keep us painfully, desperately apart." [Special Agent Dana Scully, "Trust No 1"] "We are meant to be here. We step from one piece of holy ground to the next under stars that ask... imagine, for one second, you could drop in on a past life. What would you like to find there? What would charm you, make you proud? Ask yourself that, and the question of what to do in this life becomes so simple, it's terrifying. Just to do that thing that would charm you, that would make you say, 'Yes, this is the real me.' Do that, and you're alive." [Alex Ventoux, Millennium "Luminary"] "And perhaps it is this trick of wilfully blurred but occasionally keen vision... that invites me now to begin a personal narrative I have long wanted to write, but for which I have always lacked the necessary strength... (though I must add... that I am only too aware that I can cross out offending sentences later and recopy the text and then edit the narrative should I find the resulting truth too unbearable to read. And is this not so for every story one writes or speaks in one's lifetime?)... I have some understanding of the potential benefits of committing one's thoughts - and in this case, one's memories - to paper... Of course, such a venture upon which I now embark... is filled more with terror than with imagined reward, for I know not what feelings such a narrative will invoke..." [Anita Shreve, "All He Ever Wanted"] "What is more dull than a discreet diary? One may as well have a discreet soul." [Henry Channon, British politican and diarist, 1897-1958] | |
