“Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;”
~Remember, Christina Rossetti

It was painful but it was worth the pain. There’s always a payoff and a paywall. I shed a tear without a doubt. I think we all did.

“All the world’s a stage…”

… vast sweeping brush-stokes

… he breathed in the Great Winds

… would we only live to see another day

British English Full Stop

P.S. Beyond the Cambridge Companion to Jung

The Postscript Murders. Query Langley and the Q-word. (P.S. The F-word and The C-word)

Anti-social at my best. I’ve had better days.

On Gemini Cave, Chimanimani and Google Gemini AI

On reaching my psycho-emotional sweet-spot after 19 years in the “desert” of the mind. Also known as “arriving home again”…I woke up this morning with a smile on my face, a twinkle in my eye and spring in my step. There’s hope for us all.

“There are those to whom place is unimportant,
But this place, where sea and fresh water meet,
Is important–”
~The Rose, Theodore Roethke

“Vast, softly spoken, well-defined and well-underlined” ~Pulitzer-to-be

“Torn between the two worlds of modern life i.e. leading a semi-fantastical life online as contrasted with the stark reality of living in geopolitical Africa – a volume that has been waiting on the literary sidelines for too long and sees the light of day many a hundred years too late.” ~Booker-to-be

“Precise, troubling, brilliant” ~Observer

“A gloriously rambunctious satire of tyranny, oppression and rebellion, with global relevance” ~Guardian

“Shines like a diamond” ~anon

“Beyond the call of duty” ~anon

A few “musical” notes…

My back pages, lyrics

Taylor Swift lyrics – fortnight

My pièce de résistance – colour/color

fait accompli

déjà vu

Cranberries, U2

A brave step forward for mankind

The darknet speaks

No hashtags – at the kind suggestion of a friend – me too!!

Business out the way?

Sometimes it’s necessary to use a little French F-word.

A burden I’ve carried with me all my life. At last some real peace of mind.

Liberty leading the people

Blank space

I love Vermont but it’s the season of the sticks

Gemini Cave, Cave-dwellers and Coming out the Archetypal “Closet”

Google it? Ask AI? I don’t think I’ll risk it.

Raising the Pride Flag and recognising the Rainbow Nation for the first time as another year turns and we find ourselves bereft of words at the darkness and horrors of today’s world. But it is not without hope, this sorry world and this sorry life. Let this story be a story of hope in the sad and sombre corners of Planet Earth and the human heart.

The Pirate Bay, Navy SEAL, Jesus Christ! A curse, a necessity and the brightest light.

#TodaysPacificBreezes #FlameLily aka Piracy, Zimbabwe and The Pirate Bay (TPB)- without which we would not be here – at the end of this journey in all earnest and with every respect for the law.

X-Force – smoking the competition, for your best interest X, formally Twitter.

Metaphor is a language, myths and legends are the words and religions and spiritual beliefs are the black sheep of the family.

The story of Library Genesis. How I started collecting ebooks going on a decade ago – that eventually led, by highways and byways to the publication of this epic story. Like the surface of the ocean Library of Congress. And a sparkling bright ray of hope in this dark age Anna’s Archive, Z-lib et al Asterix and Obelix.

The less said the better Postscript.

The Journey – A Dream Come True (Trilogy)

Part One – Weaving the Nubecula

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
~Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Robert Frost

.

Part Two – Dancing the Ice

“There are those to whom place is unimportant,
But this place, where sea and fresh water meet,
Is important–”
~The Rose, Theodore Roethke

.

Part Three – Every Nereid to Her Wave

“Love set you going like a fat gold watch.
The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry
Took its place among the elements.”
~Morning Song, Sylvia Plath

.

Constitution.

Hamlet, Macbeth and As You Like It

Great Expectations and Oliver Twist

Middlemarch

A strong title makes for good writing. A necessary blank space and the empty-book example.

.
.

And so onward-ho! to the next book, the next chapter and perhaps a new friend here and there as a Triton rising amongst the Minnows.

.

In closing a final P.S. – the joys and pains of being honest and coherent on the one hand and being sensitive to other’s needs and ones place in the social order on the the other. A final curse. And a little French D-Day. Kids will be kids, I was a kid once and there are kids yet to be. Over to you good readers and good people…The Postscript.

“Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,”

An example…

Raise the flag South Africa, raise the flag

Honor the fallen Biden, honor the fallen

From Cape Agulhas to the as Berg South Africa, from Cape Agulhas to the Berg

From the Prairies to the Canyon Biden, from the Prairies to the Canyon

Or as I prefer to put it in my own lingo: “Home James, St. James, Internet Security. Ulysses S. Grant James Joyce, Ulysses S. Grant. Home James, St. James, Internet Security”

Enough of wordplay, tongue-twisters and rhetoric and ps fare thee well, fare thee well

Kicking up dust at the Big Tree Harare, kicking up dust

My gift to the world: “Of Land Rights and Rites of Passage, John Steinbeck, Of Land Rights and Rites of Passage”

Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika.
God bless Africa.

E pluribus unum.
God bless America.

“Remember me…”
