The laying on of hands —
The nutmeg of consolation
Under this unbroken sky.

The Wounded Sky
Echoes Through a Glass Darkly:
Something Wicked This Way Comes

The Doorbell Rang,
Neither Here Nor There,
The Pale Blue Eye--
Nighty-Nightmare

The Company We Keep, A Passion for Books:
Best Destiny.
Ex Libris, A Room of One's Own:
Sanctuary.

In the Ocean of Night,
Green Darkness
Wielding a Red Sword:
The Return of the Shadow

In the Next Galaxy--
A Fine and Private Place--
These Three Remain:
Sourcery, Gravity and Grace

Fingersmith--
Farthing, Ha'Penny, Half a Crown--
The Good Thief on Fortune's Wheel:
Away Home!
The Moon Is Down

Why is sex fun? Bad thoughts; a wild ride through the night... How is it done? By hook or by crook, and why not?

Gatherings: / Roast chicken and other stories / On rice. / Salt and pepper, / The spices of life. / Thirst? / The best of food and wine. / Not just a load of old lentils.

The way it is,
From begining to end,
Librarians as learners, librarians as teachers.

A thousand splendid suns: Solar Bodies Free-falling, Burning Bright, Into the Garden, The Secret Garden.

The age of innocence: The last time I saw mother, Enduring love, Dancing in combat boots. Man walks into a room The other side of you. The fall, Death of an ordinary man. So much for that.

The invitation/ the summmons/ come as you are/ darkest fear/ no safe place/ dismantled/ mutation/ mind wide open/ fear nothing/ fear nothing

Stories of a life well lived.

The tipping point a bend in the road. Stolen Lives. Since then a long way gone. Losing my mind. Coming back stronger.

Here on earth naked men, women and dogs in dubious battle.

Like a straight pine tree falls the shadow between two rivers.

Killer angles in dubious battle deer hunting with Jesus.

I and Thou,
The courage to be
Out on holy ground
Till we have faces.

Heavy words lightly thrown, not so funny when it happened. The slippery slope, persuasion. I feel lonely when I'm all alone. Breathing lessons. A walk in the woods, searching for God knows what. One…
