These blog posts are thinning out to say the least, partly because I'm busy, and partly because I've already said a lot of things I wanted to. Which is better, repeating yourself endlessly, or staying silent once you've said your piece?
Quote of the Week
- "This house has been far out at sea all night, |The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills, |Winds stampeding the fields under the window |Floundering black astride and blinding wet |Till day rose; then under an orange sky |The hills had new places, and wind wielded |Blade-light, luminous black and emerald, |Flexing like the lens of a mad eye." - Ted Hughes, Wind

Hypocritical, yes. Proud of it, I try not to be.
We are in a constant battle with ourselves, and which aspect of us wins determines what we end up doing.
To some, the battle is jihad, and to others, a step on the road to enlightenment. But for anything to happen the battle must be won!
