h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I see your story is in the post, and more great reviews. Well done!

i am doing my best pauline ...... we will see what comes next ....though my journal for today is hopefully not prophetic

My goodness, why did that very same thought run through my head?

syncronicity

etc

We must be tuned into the same channel....

apparently so

it's good

On the front page within your first week. You are a star *********

we'll see how it goes.....next thing i offer up they might hate!

Good afternoon Ian,

You are putting a lot of quality stuff on the site. it's lovely to read your work....

Have a great weekend,

Flame

Such a lovely day. I've been sitting in the garden drinking tea, and allowing my mind to drift......

drifting minds are such a goldmine.......

Confused indeed am I. With what have you done your journalistic musings?

i killed them....

suddenly they seemd so pretentious

Hello Ian,

Thought you might like to read this posting from marianne

Flame I read that story recommended by you by Ianhimself.... It was thought provoking, moving and I found myself slipping into the imagery of that time, not knowing where the story was leading, but lead it did.

I found myself wondering at first whether the story teller was on a sexual adventure (as I am sure many of the readers would at the beginning of his tale!) Not many of us were involved in the realities of his piece, physically or emotionally, nor were we aware of the realities of those who were. I myself had some insight of those days albeit through a third party. and the destruction I saw of that person was slow and profound. The person I am referring to didn't lose his physically life but he lost everything that was him. The destruction of the innocence of people can only be imagined by most of the human race (thank God). The innocents will always suffer. war will always ensure that. I am writing this several weeks after reading Ian's story and it sticks in my mind as it must stick in his gut.

Events such as Ian was describing affected many, many people. Like the tentacles of a octupus he reaches out and touches those who may never have been touched. Ian has a gift, and with his gift he can awaken our consciousness.

hey..... just back from good ole usa..... how are you doing?

Hello Ian,

Getting a connection has been a major hassle - but here I am - alive and well in Bahrain.

I can't but help feel a certain excitment about this place. No idea why.... Maybe Pauline's adventures have begun.

Hope u enjoyed your trip to the USA

USA rocked ..... enjoyed it a lot .... now back into total bedlam...end of tax year ... clients making unreasonable remands..... life gone quite mad ..... but it's great to hear from you .....

yes i think maybe they have just begun ... i think boredom and a need for the road was probably driving your psyche for awhile .....
... must say i'm looking forward to having a decent chat soon......

take care blondie....

Ian, you wouldn't believe the internal changes I have been going thru. And life suddenly seems exciting again.

Going for an Indian head massage this afternoon. Looking forward to it.

When can we chat?

One evening next week is good for me .... will try and find you lateish (my time) on maybe Tuesday? I am out with a bunch of writers on Monday night and will almost certainly be too inebriated to talk properly when I get home ..... and on Wednesday I have a published philosopher (!!) staying overnight with me and he would only want to distract you with his post modern ramblings!!

grins ... and yes, I picked up on the reference......
