Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

The safe place lies in obedience to God's Word, singleness of heart and holy vigilance.
Could man be drunk for ever Â Â Â With liquor, love, or fights, Lief should I rouse at morning Â Â Â And lief lie down of nights. But men at whiles are sober Â Â Â And think by fits and starts, And if they think, they fasten Â Â Â Their hands upon their hearts.
All knots that lovers tie Are tied to sever. Here shall your sweetheart lie, Untrue for ever.
Lovers lying two and two Ask not whom they sleep beside, And the bridegroom all night through Never turns him to the bride.
Hope lies to mortals And most believe her, But man's deceiver Was never mine.
Do I do as false prophets do and puff air into simulacra? Am I a Sorcerer--like Macbeth's witches--mixing truth and lies in incandescent shapes? Or am I a kind of very minor scribe of a prophetic Book--telling such truth as in me lies, with aid of such fiction as I acknowledge mine, as Prospero acknowledged Caliban.
The Bible says, 'The truth shall make you free.' But let's not forget it was Spiro Agnew who said that a good lie will keep you out of jail in the first place.
The world sums you up by the clothes that you wear, and treats you accordingly.
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
I love love stories, no matter how dark.
