    1. Hee hee. Yeah, this one is a bit more esoteric, I’m afraid. I may no longer be religious, but I admit there are intricate details of theology that still kind of fascinate me. How such an unwieldy belief system can still thrive in this day and age is something that I constantly wonder about. Plus, it’s not often one gets to see todgers represented in comics. πŸ˜‰

  1. I like your thinking. You’re getting there, but not quite. I’d say – ‘words are the smallest means of forming meaning or intent…’ along with The Silence of the spaces (i.e. punctuation) inbetween. Thusly ‘Haiku’ were born & the need for spoken words. I say the daze of polarised thinking are numbered, when we accept a ‘spectrum’ view approach to problem solutions – checkout Rob Graves’ poem ‘In broken Images’ & ‘A Warning to Children’.
    The societal change in philosophy I think you’re getting at is one of losing religion but finding faith.

    1. I like that take, Dave. Head and heart is a great way to view this! As for ‘timestream’, that’s a science fiction term. According to Wikipedia, it “is a metaphorical conception of time as a stream”, and so it felt right to use the term within this fantasy context. πŸ™‚

  2. Never seen the word β€˜forfend’ before…no idea what morphemes are either (till now…) Google is defo β€˜my friend’….a β€˜glaring of cats’ does sound interesting especially cue the β€˜glare’ from the β€˜cherub?’ in the Crumbcast script. Simply brill! [you and Tati get me checking up new β€˜words’ every time. (unit of meaning, comes to mind)]

  3. I enjoyed this a lot. I used to work for a company who claimed “We (the company) were making “Quantum Leaps in the * industry.”

    Of course, I know what he meant- he was clearly Scott Bakula hoping the next leap would be the one home.
