MORTALITY – As a sickly child, beleaguered by visions, I confronted and conquered my fear of death at an early age. There are two realms of human existence: of the seen and the unseen. Few people are at liberty to wander both but those who do understand the fragility of the boundaries that separate one from the other.

When Muriel was younger I would take her to Drumfeld church yard where we would trample dead leaves into the path and contemplate the individual histories gathered beneath soil. Ironically, Muriel now habituates the church yard with ghoulish associates whose incomprehension of human boundaries is so pronounced that they imagine themselves to be vampires.
