All Quiet on the Western Front

Yes, it has been a little quiet right here on this blog. Thank you, all those of you who wrote in privately to ask what was going on. The answer, as of course you know, is that writing was going on - still is, actually. The new book The Path of Synchronicity is all tidied away and ready to go. It discusses the way that literature assumes the existence of synchronous events, but these only appear when the main characters have achieved a certain level of awareness that allows them to comprehend the workings of fate. It then asks, if this is true in literature, why not in life?

While that's been going forwards I've also been working on a text about ritual and myth; a discussion how they function (or fail to) and what we might need to learn about ourselves and our needs from this. I'll call it Choosing Ritual, Living the Mythic Experience, I think.

Add in an article for Counseling Children and Young People magazine in the UK; a proposal for a psychology conference on how we make meaning, and you'll see I've been busy.

In fact, my poor little typing fingers, both of them, are feeling rather battered just now.
