Some crazy shit works and some fails. A diabolical plan, or a terrible accident? Who knows? But I’m heading into uncharted territory. So, best pack snacks.

“To light a candle is to cast a shadow” a provocative quote from A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA by Ursula K. Le Guin. My husband gave me a set of Le Guin’s EARTHSEA after dating for a little over two months. He knew his audience and was playing for keeps.

I love the dark because there lives silence and serenity.

Cannons roar, and plumes of smoke bloom. Shells explode amidst the humanity, throwing soil and souls carelessly about like discarded toys.

Stone steps in an ancient building pull you into a spiral of mystery. Only good can come from exploring the depths, right?
