You have won a three week luxury holiday on Mars.

But will you go?

Not the ideal location for keeping fit, and you really have to believe “the journey is the thing”.

The trip would of course remain one of the best stories you could tell, but all stories depend on how well they are told. Start practicing!

The prize, this long and so far unique trip, is not transferable. You go or you don’t.

Nuclear replies and the messages from selected angels.

Harsh yet precise words were followed by the sound of musical description and poetic resonance.

We are confused some of the time. At other moments such ringing clarity is a joy, and one enormously calming pain all at once.

You are alone if you wish it so. You are not alone if that’s a bad thing.

Welcome.

The vine and two spoons.

We witness timetables lost in dust and welcome abandon.

We are sawing through the tentacles of disturbance and miscommunication.

But we’re not surprised you haven’t guessed.

Space or a gap. A day missed could avoid the snake that hissed.

The calendar is just a construct, albeit a useful one.

Other than meeting people when promised, looking forward to a thing planned or paying on time, it’s up to you to squeeze the best results out of the “malleable known as Time”.

Or me.

Splendid views with an emphasis on exaggeration.

We really care about the view.

That telegraph pole blended with a stack of old rusting garden implements in the next door yard does not quality for glorious view of the decade.

The nano-slit glimmer of the lake we might see if we could just notice it between a garage and the rear door of a garden shed, you’ve got to be joking.

The mountainside and the goats in view only when standing on top of the kitchen counter, not good enough.

Honesty and quality. Please!
