Now that I’m well over the threshold of 50, I discovered I had so much more to bring to my writing than when I was younger and self-absorbed.
I look back at the vast panorama of life experiences — my ancestral way of life, the old birthing the new, stepping into modernity, realizing how lucky I was to have a history going back to ancient times and belief systems which predate monotheistic ironclad immutable boredom!
So much to write about, share the wonder now lost to new generations, I feel like the proverbial granny lost in story-telling to a wide eyed bunch of kids secretly laughing, she’s making it up! I mean, who’d believe encounters with djinns and 200 year old ghosts in an ancient palace?
Yes, it’s time for my magnum opus!

Thanks for the wake-up call Thomas 🙏🏽 💃🏻
