The Book: Chapter 28

The Book: Chapter 26

Posted on Mon, 27 Apr 2020
Hello mate, good to read you again. Nothing less than I'd expect from you, you have those writer's eyes that never stop looking at the world, I think we all do, but you find more beauty than most. It's one of the things I've admired about your...

The water looks black, but when you hold it the palms of your hands it’s completely clear....lovely.

The energy of this is great.
Posted on Sat, 04 Jan 2025
The energy of this is great. There's no flounder or 'what now?' it's boom, boom, up, up ... and then, in all the action we have something as mundane and out of place as a lollipop stuck in a light socket, and people still have to eat. I loved...

This is deep, it's a pity we don't have a recordings section, (Maybe something to look at, Eds? ) I'd like to hear it performed.
