Everything Is Better With Dragons
Book blogger, Autistic, Probably a Dragon
Firstly, I’d like to mention the book The Way of Tenderness by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, a Buddhist clergywoman and writer, which prompted these thoughts. I will include a review of this book in January’s book reviews post. I have been reading this book lately and have found in it some intriguing and resonant metaphors. The author describes humanity as being plants in a garden, each with it’s own form and identity, yet all part of the garden as a whole.
Such a beautiful image.
…will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or any person so wholly unconnected with me.
Yes, I did just quote Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice.
Firstly, Happy New Year.
Secondly, thanks for reading my scribbling for another year.
Thirdly, I’m not going to add to the list of bloggers sharing their New Year’s Resolutions. Continue reading “I am only resolved to act in that manner, which…”

I am a terrible blogger; the day job is paying the bills but it’s really cutting in to my reading/writing time. I am getting some writing done but at the expense of reading time. For this month and next it’s possible book reviews will be sparse. I am still reading, it is just taking longer.
Do you know my favourite thing about winter?
It’s that I can get the slow cooker out and make stew, or do a roast dinner, and the kitchen doesn’t itself become an oven. I’ve finally learnt how to make decent roasties as well. I’m not up to trying yorkshires yet though.
