    Author

    David Stuart Ryan

    Writer, traveller and astrologer. Inventor of a new astrological interpretation program. The writing came first, you can see the titles at http://www.kozmikhoroscopes.com/kozmik.htm Around the eclipse of March 1968 I turned down a job writing ads for KLM airline and went travelling overland to India. (Didn't everyone?) Felt a little smug about that until I met a girl on the beach in Goa who had turned down a job writing for PanAm to head off to Formentera and then India. (beat that Ryan!). Did visit an astrologer within 5 days of arriving in an incredibly hot India ( the temperature was hitting over 120F (50C) and even the Indians were dying) who blew me away with his analysis. Even getting that I was an advertising copywriter. So now many moons later I have a computer program that combines both East and West astrology to give some unique, mind blowing readings.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
