Nothing will come of nothing August 4, 2009
Posted by janehaynes in : Uncategorized , comments closedSince I finished the Proust bit I cannot imagine ever having anything to write about again. I suppose that’s what I love about the mystery of writing, I feel like I am a jackdaw on the look out for something that sparkles. A thief. I talked quite a bit, (it’s all bits and they both died far too young, but one took to his bed – almost from childhood – while the other kept on travelling; even when he was spitting up blood.

Rethinking Friendship July 10, 2009
Posted by janehaynes in : Atomies of love, Uncategorized , comments closedI wrote earlier that sometimes it takes a lifetime to know which of those magic meetings in life with significant others remain with us as platinum rings of eternity. Now, I think I may have been placing too much emphasis on the idea of endurance. For a start, I don’t have as many friends now as when I was younger. I’m more reclusive, more disillusioned and for whatever reason – their memories vividly mark a chapter of our lives. I still remember not only my own, but my children’s long lost best friends as if it was yesterday. It is not, after all, I think the length of time that matters but the depth of loving, or come to that, hating.

WATCH AND WAIT July 1, 2009
Posted by janehaynes in : Holistic health, Uncategorized , comments closedSometimes, when you are forced into the dentist’s chair – with a heightened dread because you either fear another root canal filling, or even worse that an expensively maintained canal is in more trouble – if you are lucky the dentist, well mine does, will use the term ‘Watch and allowed myself to enjoy the thoughts of strangers departing for an unknown holiday destination with all the excitement of a 6 AM departure.
THRESHOLD MOMENTS OF ENGAGEMENT June 28, 2009
Posted by janehaynes in : Atomies of love, Uncategorized , comments closedI commented earlier on the frightful pangs – when one is writing – of beginnings, of empty pages and seductive Duessa in Spencer’s Fairie Queen. Hope of communion is ignited but sometimes its energy is gossamer fine. It may be days, months or probably years, even a lifetime, before we find out if the engagement of a new beginning has become the platinum of eternity.
