I will be forevermore drowning within the depths of you.” © JL Thomas 2019 I tenderly cup Helena’s face in my hands and look deep into her eyes – They’ve widened. I then tell her, “I’m not just falling in love with you anymore, Helena.” She looks saddened and a little confused. Her voice barely a whisper she asks, “You aren’t, Darius?” I hold her gaze. “No, I’m not.” “Then…” she pauses and blinks, “… you… you don’t love me anymore?” I smile and gasp, “Oh, my darling angel, I do love you, more than you will ever know.” “Then what do you mean that you are not just falling in love with me?” “I mean…” I take a huge breath and say, “I’ve fallen into you.” She frowns. “Into me?” “Yes, into you.” “Can you enlighten me?” I do just that by explaining to her that she is like a comforting azure warm ocean. Her tone light, she questions, “I am?” “Yes, you are and do you want to know something else?” She nods and I answer, “After we had shared our first kiss, something magical happened to me, so therefore I want you to know that I will be forevermore drowning within the depths of you.” © JL Thomas 2019

I know that my tendency is to be linear, and I'm trying to find ways to subvert that.

Many wish to believe that the odd is not so odd, the bizarre not so bizarre, and there is little changing of minds once they are set. There are only so many ways to understand the strange and disordered. The Greeks imagined gods to explain what they themselves could not. It is human nature to invent reasons for why the mind shatters, hope plummets, or the will to live dies. Scientific explanations are complicated and, for many, less humanly satisfying than visionary or religious ones. They are also less interesting than explanations based on planetary misalignment, toxins, or childhoods gone awry. There is a disturbing gap between what scientists and doctors know about mental illness and what most people believe.

It was a struggle to humanize Donald Trump, who was the antagonist in my satirical thriller 'The Day of the Donald'. Of course, I heard from some readers who thought I made Trump too likable.

Bacteria evolve, and so they become resistant to existing drugs. Sometimes they revert, depending on how damaging the mutation is to the life cycle of the bacteria. Mutations that give rise to resistance against particular compounds do increase, and that is why you constantly have to have new ones.

I'm just a golf enthusiast where I enjoy the game so much, and I'm excited.

History overflows time. Love overflows the allowance of the world. All the vessels overflow, and no end or limit stays put. Every shakable thing has got to be shaken. In a sense, nothing that was ever lost in Port William ever has been replaced. In another sense, nothing is ever lost, and we are compacted together forever, even by our failures, our regrets, and our longings.

There's never been a doctor who served many patients who, despite their best efforts, did not lose some of them to death. But they understood that was part of life itself.

It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.

I was much more interested in the orchestra than the piano, but I did become fairly proficient as a pianist and my teachers felt I had talent and wanted me to become a good concert pianist and earn my living that way.
