John Geddes

...evil fascinates and repels us - it's a terrible beauty that enthralls us the more we stare into it...

...it begins with isolation - demons always inhabit desolate places...

...nobody ever takes from the desert anything but aridity and monsters...

...a writer without authority? Impossible. as Kenneth Burke says, creation implies authority in the sense of originator....

...people quote proverbs without realizing they're really in awe of the authority of their truth and the power of their expression...

...how many writers still dare compare a woman to Nature, like Campion? - there is a garden in her face - how lovely...

...it's not the stories - it's the pain and the joy and the people who stay with you long after the stories are told ...

...it's not the medium that's the message - it's consciousness - the wonder of being able to wonder ...

...bow to genius, but to the authority of that genius - not the display of talent...

... only darkened trails of rain could paint your face upon a pane...

...in January, everything seems desolate. The Moon ascends to cold heights - and I, a ragged sky filled with dark kisses...lie abandoned by you...

...cities are murky places - hatching grounds for monsters...

...you can have a dark heart and be a writer, but you can't have a black one..

...Sunday evenings are heavier than clouds with rain, darker too and often interminable...

...thinking about laughing with 2 yr old Findlay today - Dostoyevsky was right, __he soul is healed by being with children._ ...

...with you, I find peace from pain - You are gentle and healing like the landscape__ike rain...

...I've discovered why you fascinate - you keep the mystery and as Carlyle noted, Wonder is the basis of worship...

when I see you, I see mystery - a pale moon's beauty behind a veil of cloud
