My literary activity on the world-wide-web is a personal and quite industrious enterprize. When I can find the time, I am engaged in creating across this global internet a tapestry or a jig-saw puzzle of poetry and prose. At this site, readers will find one of my many journals, diaries or blogs. These various terms are used by various internet site administrators and moderators for a series of posts by one writer/author and the responses to those posts by others, responses that they have decided are worthy of being included among my threads. The series of posts at this site is one of the many parts of this tapestry, this jig-saw puzzle, of prose and poetry I refer to above. Sometimes the series becomes lengthy and sometimes it remains brief. Like pieces of cloth or pieces of that jig-saw puzzle, the size, the shape and the length remain a bit of a mystery until the story is told, until time takes its course across life’s path and across the threads that are part of the particular internet site in question.

This literary creation, this literary industry, has been created in the early evening of my life, in the last years of my middle age(56-59) and the first years of my late adulthood(60-65), by this retired teacher and lecturer who became 65 in July 2009. He attempts to endow many a theme from the social sciences and humanities, from spiritual and secular subjects, with many layers of meaning. He tries to combine a high seriousness with a light and humorous style when appropriate and when he is able. This literary goal is difficult to achieve and has been a slowly evolving literary ambition since settling into Australian society in the 1970s after moving from Canada where I was born in 1944.
