Gassing in Essen

Since Sunday evening I have been in Dusseldorf, Germany arriving home late last night. It is amazing to me how quickly traffic to this site drops off and tails away unless I post to it every day. In just three days, traffic declined by 70%! What I find interesting about that is that this blog is filled with content – short stories, poetry, thoughts, articles – most of it is not time sensitive. I guess, people only look at the latest material on blogs and that must mean all of the good stuff on this blog goes largely unread after it is first written. Sad but probably inevitable…. Anyway, I visited a huge trade fair in Essen with my business partner who flew in from Houston, TX. Over 15,000 power

People are Funny

People. We are a strange bloody lot don’t you think? There is a woman down our street who we often meet walking her dog. If we have our dog with us too she will cross the road to avoid us glaring the entire time. What is bizarre about this is that dogs like to sniff each other don’t they but her she protects her dog from contact with all others muttering to herself and glaring her glare at other dog and owner. Why? Today, I made a comment on a global warming story. I expected a reply or two it is par for the course but the reply I actually received blew me away. It said “Look mate, I have an O level in science and I got that O

Vacation Thoughts

Well, I feel decidedly lighter in the wallet after booking our three week Florida vacation this summer and that was just the flights! I still have to buy the insurance, Disney stay, car rental and apartment rental by the beach…. I love Florida. I do. Have you ever seen a Manatee? or swam close by dolphins in their natural habitat? We went two years ago and we all loved it. Particularly Deni who though dolphins (delphiny in Czech) to be amazing…. Now, I cannot wait…. sigh!

Indiscriminate Fear

If you take a look at CNN’s front page today you would be forgiven for being afraid. I really begin to believe the constant creation of fear by the media is a ploy to some purpose though quite honestly, I am not sure what. Sorry, I am unafraid. Everything is as it should be. Of course, much of the CNN real estate is made over the an organization called ISIS. Frankly, I detest this name as it has little to do with the Goddess who is the real Isis. However, this group of a few thousand heart-deadened deadbeats whose ability to poll the depths of human depravity and cruelty appears to know no end, is exactly that – just a few thousand criminals, maniacs and psychopaths. In today’s high tech

The Creator’s Smile

Occasionally, I have a crack at something I have never done before. But why not try something new? Especially when it comes to promoting my work. So here, I present a video. It is I reading a poem called The Creator’s Smile from the forthcoming new collection of material entitled The art Of Science. The music is a composition by Paul Vasey my talented son and it is he who plays…. he doesn’t know that I used it and hopefully he won’t be angry! What do you think? Overdone? Too arty? Something to work with?

A #1 Best Seller

With the advent of Amazon, there are lots of opportunities to have a legit #1 best seller by virtue of their categories. That doesn’t translate to it’s easy though! In fact, the idea of having that orange flag by the side of one of my books saying “best seller” was something I had long given up on ever happening to me. On the other hand, one keeps trying right? Well, this weekend, a little dream was fulfilled and one of my books did get that sought after banner and the tag ‘Best Seller’. Not just in one category but two! It didn’t last long – a few hours – but it is still a milestone achieved and ticked off the list. It felt good and the book has been hovering

Passer By

Travelling a well traveled road Valleys and mountain peaks pass me by Dusky deserts and luscious oceans sprawling Somewhere there is a place unique to me But I haven’t yet found it There is no home in my life I am a traveller, a passer by These days I travel light I carry little but my burdens in life I have washed myself in the stream of life And burned away dross in the primal fire I have climbed the tree that lies at my center The view from its peak took my breath away I have drawn holy waters from the mystic well And yet, I haven’t found my home Perhaps at this journeys end I will find my repose? Many miles yet to travel Many sins to unravel
