At midnight whence all is still
At midnight whence all is stillI sit on my bedsideAnd drink in the quietFor the first time in the dayI am alone with my thoughtsYou and the animals sleepBut I am restless before restingAnd my thoughts will notLet me abandon them so easilyI consider time and spaceMortality and immortalityGod and…
Old friends are calling me
I’ve heard from various sources that once a novel is written, it should not be revisited or revised. The best idea, some advise, is to simply move on, always focused on the next project. The fear is that the writer might become captive to an endless cycle of writing, editing,…
Doctor Who and Warped Passages
In previous posts, here and here, I mentioned that I was slowly and painfully making my way through Michio Kaku’s Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension (1994). Dr. Kaku, a brilliant futurist and theoretical physicist who’s CV would embarrass the fictional Sheldon Cooper (Big…
Navigating Hyperspace
Yes, I’m still working my way through Michio Kaku’s Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension . Full disclosure requires me to tell you that while I can easily grasp the higher concepts and especially appreciate the human aspects of the minds that generate them, the…
Before God
The first contact was quiet, obscure, and by any conventional standard quite unremarkable. It required only a breath. Whatever concept scientists, writers, and other visionaries of the ages may have had about the event, this wasn’t it. I wouldn’t call it serendipitous, that first contact. It was not, by definition,…
And then I wrote some romance
Every so often I like to share what I’m currently working on. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m working on the manuscript for a story tentatively titled, ‘Clarice’. I’ve got around 42,000 words so far. While story development is slow, because I’m pulled in so many different directions,…
What’s on my bookshelf
Back in the days before the internet, when there were only three channels on TV (four if you got PBS), information was derived primarily from books. They were made of paper, could be heavy, and were often awkward and inconvenient to carry. Despite this, a physical, printed book carried a…
So here’s the thing…
Some physicists who subscribe to the idea of a multiverse, suggest that there may have also been multiple big bangs. Mightn’t it be possible that from these multiple existences and geneses a certain amount of crossover might have occurred? This crossover might go a long way towards answering the myriad…
God, Physics, or Both?
God is physics or physics is god, which one is it? The purpose of God is to create everything. The purpose of physics is to explain how everything was created. When God created everything he established immutable laws to govern nature. The purpose of physics is to not only codify…
My Wife Won’t Read My Stories!
Although she regularly reads my blog, my wife, Malette, isn’t comfortable with the horror/fantasy genre. She likes other things. One of her favorite writers is Johanna Lindsey. And that’s okay, different strokes for different folks, as they say. But there are times I’m envious of Leo Tolstoy whose wife, Sofia,…
