it may cost your soul

You can, of course, make choices, and…You can, but it may cost your soul.

choices, consequences, good and evil, hypocrisy

heroes, superman, to do lists

Good God? – a ramble ’round golgotha

somanycontradictions

crucifixion, Good Friday, nonsense, sense, understanding

Sonnet XXII – adieu to much ado

Not playing is better, he reckoned.

Benjifer Bones – #FFFocus

“Benjifer Bones” the old cat intones, “shall never be one of those usual drones”

Another Land

Circular Wars

It’s easy to rise on the called-for occasion…

Feeling for Switches in the Dark

Ye who are enlightened so

illuminate, light switch, responsibility

Still. Way. Too. Many. Limits.

White. European. Straight. Cisgendered. Wealthy. Males. For them – the sky’s the limit.

glass ceiling, oppression, privilege, systemic injustice
