“The Procession by Stewart Stafford Let the lighthouse of past lives, With all of the blinding pinnacles, Guide us through death's brief mists. Let the homing dirge of the piper, Move us as sleep climbs upon us, Spear of Selene cresting the horizon. Let the dawn chorus sing in tribute, To winter's carpeted, unspoiled dawn, Setting forth with a crunching mission. Let the cavalcade commence, With all that are smiling and dearest, Assembling within the celestial glare. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.”

“What makes you think that hell is a place gushed with fire and what makes you think a heaven is a place with big mansions and fountains of water? Your heaven and hell are here on earth. Your reward is when you become an angel or a demon. The universe is in recycling. You come, another goes. The number of souls and spirits is defined. You are here for a purpose, live it and be happy after all you came with nothing and you’ll go with nothing… All you are left with is your soul, how often did you seek God with it or do you sort after money, power, and relevance? Be careful life is a mystery”

“Books. They are lined up on shelves or stacked on a table. There they are wrapped up in their jackets, lines of neat print on nicely bound pages. They look like such orderly, static things. Then you, the reader come along. You open the book jacket, and it can be like opening the gates to an unknown city, or opening the lid of a treasure chest. You read the first word and you're off on a journey of exploration and discovery.”
