A collection of short stories.
We all live in a box of time, but then so has everyone else throughout history.
What if time now and time then exists side by side, as if it were happening laterally? The same space in existence, just people in different boxes of time? A continuous loop of reality, and the past and present meshing into one?
Do we get the chance to glimpse through the gossamer veil when our boxes overlap?
It has often been said that we should be careful what we wish for; the grass is not always greener next door.
A chance meeting sets two girls towards a destiny neither would have expected
Writers spread the words that many dreamers sow,
We take the tiny sparks of tales, and softly blow
and fire ignites the words, it makes our hearts aglow.
Weaving of our stories can take a lifetime though,
There’s a pleasure in the writing that only authors know.

Imagine never fitting into any of the boxes that life expects you to fit into. Applying for work, justifying school history, qualifications, etc.
Pablo was born and grew up in a closed community in the middle of the jungle of Paraguay, having no knowledge of the type of life we in Britain take for granted. When young Pablo arrived at Heathrow Airport in 1961, he soon found that he didn’t fit into any of those boxes. The culture shock and his own upbringing exposing some of the bureaucracy and administrative stupidity that now surrounded him on a daily basis.
In his inimitable, uncomplicated and no-nonsense way, Pablo shows us how he faced these challenges, bringing his own brand of humour with him as he recounts his stories.

This book, as the title suggests, is about love: the pain of it, the joy of it, the lack of it, the search for it, and how love refracts through the prism of a life and is reflected through the telescope of memories.
Love's many colours drive these poems with an emotional momentum, which makes the reader want to hug the child who was 'Truby Kinged ' and dance with the man who finally found it. It is a vibrant, timeless collection.
