The Tiller
With fingers on the keyboard, I am ready to describe the journeys that have maintained the same thrill as the first time, many times since. I recall the same feelings, that still arise today, as they did that first time that I let Golinda and Gallopatrot direct me, as a loadstone, down a road less travelled.

You were never really here
Early in the morning Gallopatrot might appear in a waking dream. Although never really here, Gallopatrot never really leaves. Gallopatrot is more than a ghost or a memory. Sometimes Gallopatrot disappears like sugar crystals in water, or the smell of perfume, or quarter-hourly chimes of a grandfather clock or the pain from wars that occur every day. Perhaps sensory fatigue or habituation caused by repeated exposure leads to a decrease in response to the stimulus of the dragon's presence. Yet Gallopatrot is the stuff of legends that lingers long after an era is gone.

Can You Please Pass the Salt
I am a pilgrim, willingly wandering into writing this piece, along with some other pilgrims who seek to create a postmodern narrative that destroys meaningless metafictions of wishful thinking and preconceived principles of realism.

Stories that have gone up in the smoke of chaos.
History is written by the victors. Some leaders in History would prefer to burn and destroy stories of the journey that challenge their ideals. Hitler and others try to control information, but the results are not an expected. Elements of truth rise, as wisps of independent thought, and the phoenix rises from the ashes.

Accept who you are, respect where you have been, and expect how to get where you are going.
Pride holds two polar opposite meanings. Pride, defined as unreasonable self-esteem and haughtiness isone of the deadly sins. In contrast, pride is also considered a deep-seated, dignified and noble gift of grace, that offers a feeling of satisfaction associated with time, place and circumstances or people.

Life's a Paradox
Dear Seers, As one who was once in your guild, I now resign. I withdraw from thinking that I can read signs. This is not the first time. I have struggled with the decision and as part of me resignation, will trace my steps back to explain my decision.
