That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence. We are constantly searching... not just for answers to our questions... but for new questions. We are explorers... . We explore our lives day by day... and we explore the galaxy, trying to expand the boundaries of our knowledge. And that is why I am here. Not to conquer you with weapons or ideas. But to coexist and learn.

We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found serenity
But you can't take the sky from me

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams"

Happy 18th birthday to my son; look to your dreams and make them come true.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why, oh, why can't I?

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

Friday 23 November 2007


My home is deep in the forest near the roots of the mountains.

Thursday 22 November 2007


I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

Jodie wears a hat although it hasnt rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes

Saturday 17 November 2007


There's a thousand sides to everything - not just heroes and villains. So anyway... so anyway... so anyway... so anyway ought to be one word. Like a place or a river. "So Anyway River."

Thursday 15 November 2007


I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.

It's funny, you work so hard, you do everything you can to get away from a place, and when you finally get your chance to leave, you find a reason to stay.

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

To see your world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower.
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand, An eternity in an hour.

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

We are meant to be here. We step from one piece of holy ground to the next under stars that ask …

Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shores... burning with the fires of Orc.

Talk about it somewhere only we know
