...my heart is a desolate field over which geese vee, the sky turns and the days lie fallow...

...if you always move in certainty, your writing will be flat - creativity is a rugged terrain...

...is worship too strong a word? yes, I worship you - to worship is to give worth to something – isn’t that what love is all about?...
