At the heart of it all is our lack of connection to others — Whenever I write fiction, I write from the heart and depth of me. The story comes from deep inside, from the unconscious seat of who I am. So writing fiction isn’t particularly difficult for me. It is, however, always deeply disturbing. …

Black is white, and white is black, and deluded politicians and theologians are destroying humanity. — For some time now, I’ve found myself angry everytime I start reading on Medium. It distresses me deeply, and I have made a decision to move away from reading here. This morning, I finally understood why. In 1992 Julia Cameron wrote a book named ‘The Artist’s Way.” In it, she…

I agree — you aren’t perfect, but that’s no excuse. — If you read the press, or even if you examine the history of Christianity, you will find the barbarity of this religion to be vast. From the Crusades, through the many inquisitons in which unbelievers were tortured and their property removed, the horrendous crimes by the Christian preachers against the…

My life is poorer because there never was a match-maker in heaven who allowed our paths cross. — In my dreams, you came to me.

Readers, they said, simply weren’t interested in reading about climate change. I have, repeatedly, found the same thing, whether on…

Desperate people call for desperate measures — There are three reasons why politicians across the world are doing nothing about climate change. The first is that the only real solutions would destroy business and remove the wealth of the top 1%. The second is that they would lose the vote of ordinary people everywhere if they told…

And why things never change… Yeah, yeah, I know that I said I wasn’t writing on Medium anymore. This is just a short spurt. My brain stopped working for the fiction. It was impaired by my wanting to get all these things off my non-hairy chest. …

You’re living in a fool’s paradise if you think Covid is done. It’s only just begun… — There’s something about being a spoilt brat that is frustrating to those who have to put up with entitled and unreasonable behaviour. …
