I like autumn. The drama of it; the golden lion roaring through the back door of the year, shaking its mane of leaves. A dangerous time; of violent rages and deceptive calm, of fireworks in the pockets and conkers in the fist.

For me, the magic of Hawaii comes from the stillness, the sea, the stars.

I've never been very good at leaving things behind. I tried, but I have always left fragments of myself there too, like seeds awaiting their chance to grow.

A man who casts no shadow isn't really a man at all.

Was it my fault that I got out of hand? --Loki

I have an advanced degree in procrastination and another one in paranoia.

I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.
