Winfred The Wayward Relihím
Tales of Irandiel

Winfred was a Relihím from his earliest days, begotten, raised among the robber band though he was too young to understand. He knew only that they went from place to place and never lacked for good food. – Where did all these things come from? was not a question he thought to ask, for his … Read More “Winfred The Wayward Relihím” »

A Farmer’s Last Return
Tales of Irandiel

Tracks through the heavy snow I tread as I make my way home to bed, the runners on my laden wain digging in the drifts on the lane. – The long day’s work is done at last and I hope for my soon repast, as the sun dips low, casting light, my weary bones ask … Read More “A Farmer’s Last Return” »

The Voyage of Eldoreth
Tales of Irandiel

In woodland bright the gentle west wind’s call bids Eldoreth arise, depart from all, and on the shore of the great, boundless sea he hears a silent voice speak audibly in words without sound, yet still echoing, to build a ship and to go a-sailing across the wild and unknown ocean’s breadth to a place … Read More “The Voyage of Eldoreth” »

Throughout time myth and storytelling has been one of the fundamental activities of the human heart as it seeks to contemplate and understand the mystery of reality. Through it we seek to find a path through the fabric of history as its tapestry is ever woven, a path that unveils meaning in the enigmas of life and gives sense and stability to the drama of existence. But especially, the activity of myth, of fantasy, is born of a primal wonder before the awesome miracle of being, and of the fundamental human activity which is play, and serves to keep this wonder and play alive always. In precisely this way it has been, and shall always be, a catalyst to enkindle and deepen the longing in the heart of each one of us for redemption—for a new and better world, a world where righteousness and happiness dwell, and all is freedom and purpose, unity and harmony, ecstatic delight and true adventure. Such does my writing humbly seek, stepping into the flowing current of thought and imagination as it surges on through history, offering, in a narrative of proportions both intimate and epic, a glimpse of the light that shines upon us all, and of the conflict that resides at the center of every life, that the weak again may be strong and the child again may be king.
