I use this blog to cover various things that interest and delight me. This includes creative writing: the adventure of the mystic detective, the lives of some imaginary characters (including my spiritual director Q who can be consulted by email) and some poems.

The Boss meets Q virutally
The Boss meets Q virtually during the pandemic
- Hi Q.
- Hi Boss.
- Good to see you.
- You too, Boss … How goes?
- Well … I am coping with the pandemic OK … crawling up the walls some days. But getting out when I can does help.
The Boss nods.
- But just before the first lockdown I had some new projects in the air almost ready to go and then … The thing is that IK thought they were what God wanted me to do.
- Hmm.
- Yes. And now I don’t know. I am waiting to see if they feel right to resume later this year. But they will be different and so will I.
- In what way?
- Older …probably not wiser … valuing people in my life so much more; nature has been wonderful to me; the simple things of life matter more. The thing I used to worry about they matter so much less when death is so close.
- Hmm, says Q and they both drift into a deep and settled silence
