Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
We are of Planet Earth, our home providing the only refuge we shall ever know as infinitesimally irrelevant creatures, less than a random afterthought of nature's punctilious design; flecks on the endless landscape of this ever-expanding universe.
A universe so vast and incomprehensible our finest minds struggle to achieve their hypotheses of how and why a collegium of everything erupted from nothing whatever but the immensity of dark, dust-and-ice crammed particles hydrogen atoms bearing the nucleus of life.
We cling to the carapace of our Planet manipulate and alter what nature permits and settle ourselves into the incredible lightness of time and light-years' distance from our primordial existence. We know what we see, feel, hear and experience and shun acknowledgement of our frail selves.
Nature reminds us through the medium of her atmospheric and geological tool box, wiping the slate of her features clean, sending typhoons, tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, earthquakes and tsunamis to rouse us from our undeserved complacency to the terror of our tenuous existence.
