This world is so wide that, even if you flitted around and around it, you would never reach the end of it. This blog is a collage of more or less literary and humorous, outlandish or sometimes even serious glimpses at this great wide world.

Arcadian valley
bright yellow stone peeking out of dusty green – the fading thunder of hoofs – remote laughter of the gods
Incidentally, I noticed your name on the list of PSH e-book free-for-all 2007 contributors and found I'd downloaded and enjoyed your words! It's time, again!
This is lovely. Makes me think of how we make our myths!
