It is the search.
In infinity, the eternal quest unfolds, it is never met, that is the paradox of the meaning of life, to search. Forever.
The quest itself is the quest, the spiral of evolution, each expansion influenced by the inner and previous, the caduceus, the DNA helix, the mirrors and the labyrinths. The imagery of the mandala, the universal serpent swallowing its tail.
All these symbolise the same thing, eternity.
” I can show you the meaning of life, ” said the guru to the student, ” but you will go mad if you grasp the concept.”
and he explained to the student, of eternity, forever, and once grasped the student laughed, continuously,
“He has surely gone mad” said the other students from afar who had covered their ears to avoid the truth.
When infinity is known, contentment soon follows, the wanderer of eternity does not yearn for satisfaction nor covets what he can hoard, for everything in the universe belongs to them that know. And also, Nothing.
The meaning of life is but to live, and ever endure, and ever seek with joy and love and peace in heart.
What is the Meaning of Life (WordPress Prompt 23//05/26)
The Random musings of a nobody. “Dagenham Dave”, is slang for someone one stop short of Barking (mad), though more contemporarily refers to any wayfaring and carefree person. Dagenham is a town to the eastern side of London (Luds Dominium) that was first recorded in a Barking charter in 666a.d. as the town of Daeccanham. Daecca is an ancient man’s name meaning ‘bright’ or ‘famous’ . Ham is short for Hamlet.
Dave is short for David, Hebrew for ‘Beloved’, My Surname ‘Wenborn’ derives from old English meaning of the Winding Stream.

1/ Book Reviews.
They’re not reviews as such- to recommend or asway, I neither seek to promote nor condemn, more my personal reflections on the books I read. In that respect it’s a subjective thing. I write the reviews as it instils in the mind, like writing down your dreams on waking, the right to remember.
2/ Short Stories and Tales
Short stories borne from imagination, dreams, thoughts and wanderings. Too large to be written in my journal of shadows.
3/ Full Books
Books that were once published elsewhere, I have full copyright on these, and of course given here freely.
4/ Magazines and Articles
Small snippets and articles that may or may not have appeared elsewhere, and information not included in Journal of shadows.

A small selection of poetry. Like song, I create as a means to an artistic diary.
