The confidence with
which some people tell
me what their silent
and invisible

friend is thinking and
demanding of them
is always stunning.

A strong belief in
Homeopathy
would not survive an
attempt to treat a
severe case of Gout
in a Big Toe joint.
There are just
two kinds of
people in
the world. Those
who ask the

A breath
of fresh
air in
Spring is
full of
pollen.
Science is a
religious
antiseptic.
It needs widely
applying all

Skarsvag
looks like
the kind
of place
that might
be just

as a child, how
I would have to
wait years, many

trying
to work
out where

he is.

butterflies
seem boring
to me. All
exactly

their looks and
behaviour.
But I guess

like that to
each other.
