‘Don’t guess. Think. Observe. Be receptive. Learn some skills of living. Don’t stumble blindly through your life. Drive. Don’t be the passenger.’ A COLLAR FOR CERBERUS @ThistleBooks
‘Archaeology deals in bones and dust and the dull numbers of chronology. What does the fragment of pottery tell us about the man who painted it? What does carbon dating say about his dreams, his prayers, his fears when the earth shook or the volcano spewed lava into the night?"
Reviews of A COLLAR FOR CERBERUS on #Goodreads: "The book was a revelation, so many layers and so many things to think about. It was a wonderful experience – more than just 'reading a book'." goodreads.com/book/show/4019…
"But time’s so very short. You get it only once, and by the time you realise what it’s worth – the colossal potential of that time – well, it’s usually too late. It’s gone – sand through your fingers. You have to live it. It’s up to you."
Monemvasia in #Greece should be a perfect place for a romantic date. But that's not what happens in A COLLAR FOR CERBERUS from @ThistleBooks
Would I remember this in all of its vividness? The colours, the sensations? The air so still and benign. The sense of privilege. Could one willingly select an experience and log it in an impermeable vault of memory? I could write it in my journal, but it would be mere words . . .
The future: that narrowing cone, that temporal funnel, leading ineluctably to a claustrophobic pipe whose terminal aperture was death. Now was the time of greatest choice and freedom. Only now.
"We humans possess potential that most of us can barely imagine. If we push, if we seek, we can reach heights of perception and feeling that make us divine. We can transcend this slowly rotting carcase. We become immortal. But it means sacrifice. You have to choose."
"That’s where the writers are. They’re sitting at a desk somewhere, despising everything about their lives. They’re shovelling shit or digging graves or driving buses – adrift in life’s incoordinate futility with only the lifebelt of writing to keep them from drowning."
No pleasure is in itself evil, but the things which produce certain pleasures entail annoyances many times greater than the pleasures themselves. Epicurus
The Arcadian village of Dimitsana in #Greece: location for the first two chapters of my novel A COLLAR FOR CERBERUS @ThistleBooks
It was another world. Drifting incense filaments blurred candle haloes. Gold glinted dully from fresco, chandelier, goblet and icon. Here was animated night: the crow-silk glisten of assembled monks, the creaking pews, the smoky pantokrator in the dome above us watching all.
"Life is not a movie or a script. If you must write about it, write its truth. Without lenses, without filters and direction and lighting. Write the starlet with her cellulite and greasy hair and one breast larger than the other. Catch her bad side and you’ll see her truth."
