Here you will find random thoughts from a computer jockey with a graphite pencil...


Well here I was. And now apparently here you are! Welcome to a selected portion of the inside of my brain - now on view via the magic of the internet.

I am a writer on a journey and an arm-chair philosopher. I know what I know - and I sometimes spill my wee box of knowledge in the sand and make pretty patterns with words and facts. Well words anyway - the facts may be questionable! Nothing posted as on this site should be taken as historical fact or reality. My posts here are creative writing reflecting a slice of truth, and are not meant to be read as biographical.

merlinspielen - or more correctly Merlin Spielen was a name gifted to me in my university days. I have the gift of being able to make patterns, and draw connections between ideas and the detritus of living . Sometimes the patterns actually even makes some sense! Those patterns are based off a thin slice of reality, reflected, refracted, distilled and turned into a crystallized lexicography of meaning.

I only know what I know. Apparently, the world is bigger than I am! Or at least greater than my mental capacity. So please do correct me, and enlighten me when I stumble along the way. I may not change what I have written - but your comments will help guide others out of the same muddy-pit where I have fallen.
