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 Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
Nature, at her leisure between episodic hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, scorching fire and tsunamis, teases her creatures with far lesser but unerringly impressive displays of casual pique and distemper, as though to accustom us to the rarer, extraordinarily brutal events catastrophic in their impact. This day has been one of high winds scuttling dark clouds across the vault of a sun-luminous sky. We have experienced mega-bursts of blasting wind, sudden sullen downpours, dark skies fading to light, then probing fingers of sun, zealous to flaunt their magnificent warming power, as opposed to the lightning that so recently streaked the sky. We give Nature her due, no match are we for either her light theatrical pieces or the darkly sinister drama of her seriously staged displays of supreme majesty.
