Introducing

[Dr. Cambridge]

Hello to you all.

Apart from tapping sounds punctuating the silence as I write these words to be sent from my laptop Notebook PC, the only other noises I can hear are the soft whirring of the computer's internal fan, and the wind breezing through the row of poplar trees across the gully which my small office at the back of our house overlooks.

I am interested in writing that creates word pictures and imparts a sense of progress, thereby transporting the reader into dimensions of the mind that for various reasons, may be either safely familiar or as yet unexplored.

The concept that we each have a definable calling and vocation in life occupies me from time to time and I like to examine what it is that determines how well a person does having found their purpose in life.

Standing by...

Never seen an introduction like that before on Lit Net! The first paragraph inperceptibly evoked a picture and was almost like the beginning of a Hemingway novel.
Writing itself? I think its an impulse, invariably arriving later in life, which comes from a momentary unified vision of life. The writer then brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else.
"Definable calling & vocation in life". This to me is the true joy of life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you submit to the final stage of mortal existence.
