    Prisms of beauty

    If you keep chasing rainbows, you won’t find the time to notice that you’re the prism creating the beauty that you so desperately court.

  • Thus, is love lost

    Thus, is love lost

    Dancing with destiny

    A snippet of a thought from the sequel to my novel, An Incomplete Love Story.

    True love is never lost

    Fate has a way of giving us what we ask for when we don’t realise we’re asking for it. It is the yearnings of the soul that calls out to the heavens, while our mouths utter pleas that are born of the distractions of needs. Needs are ephemeral. They pass through us like the passing…
