The Arrest of Christ. Fra AngelicoWhen they were small, my two sons attended a Church of England primary school, so were familiar with stories from the Bible. One day near Easter, I found them acting out a story they had heard at school. I gathered that it was a scene from the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, as it involved a lot of jumping on and off the sofa shouting, and waving ‘swords’ (plastic rulers)
I feel the message had been lost somewhere along the line, as after a while I heard the youngest wail,
‘That's it. I'm not going to be Jesus any more’ (He threw down his 'sword')
‘I want to be a goody’
Happy Easter!

Wonderful story a.d! Finally come back to you - well it's been a hectic few months. Like the look of the new page and it makes sense to make your address more in keeping... Always love visiting here, it's such an original blog.
I remember seeing Alan Howard play Richard II in a famous production for the RSC, at Stratford many years ago... my mother was in the company. I'll have to ask her now who played John of Gaunt.
Happy Easter

Many thanks, livvy - sorry about your Mum; hope all goes well. I've been away for a week at my son's wedding - may post about it soon!
Hi anno domini,
You have many paragraphs on your blog and that is how you finish a book. One paragraph at a time. A book called, "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron helped me jump start my creative process and I actually finished a prose novel. I am sure that you could also if that is what you wanted to do.
Thank you, princess haiku, I'll look into it.
