Search Chapter 7 – Friday, 11 Jan 1974

Search is loosely based on a real incident. The incident remains, the story is greatly different. Enjoy. And remember, it’s still a work in progress. These chapters are rough drafts. I’ve completed twenty-seven chapters so far and it seems I’ll complete the novel this time. We’ll see.

Many Children

We are blessed with many children. Children who do not ask for money, the car, the latest mobile, their own car, vacations in places unknown, … Peanuts. That’s what our children want.

Imagine our wealth upon seeing this glorious flock parade into our yard. And of course, one must reward wealth with wealth, which is to say, share one’s abundance (and this time, yes, it … Continue reading "The Flock"

What I learned about myself by looking at a picture

Pictures are mirrors. Today I didn’t like what I saw. There are two pictures here. Scroll down to see the second. I hope, should there be a lesson for you in this, it is neither as painful nor as necessary as mine. Take a moment to answer the question in the first picture.
