There are things that we know that we never speak aloud, like secrets, but secrets have words, and words can be spoken. Not feelings, because feelings can be unknown, formless and vagrant, and even when they are powerful, they are not knowledge. No, there are things we know about ourselves, about others, about […]
I flicked off the light and blew out the candles, because I can only write to you from the dark. Sunlight’s too bright and stark filament fires burn away the meaning. Even these new compact LED’s just wash out white, evaporating the words that sit in shadows. I play in shades of grey […]
Let there forever be wonder in the night. Let us never cower from the dread of dark hands that clutch our hearts and minds and draw our bravery from us; for even in our terror we are intrepid. We have inhabited the dark, the void of space, the immensity of Earth’s deepest places. We […]
