Trust me. I'm telling a story...

Enter, rejoice, and come in. My name is John Hughes. And I'm glad you finally made it.
If you're a net-friend, maybe you know me as Kal_ (my IRC nickname).
Whether you know me or not, you're welcome here.

This is my personal page. I expect it be "under construction" and in a state of disarray for some time yet. If you know about it, well count yourself a close friend :). Along with my idiosyncratic musings, you'll eventually find here some of my published Gloranthan fiction, articles on systemless roleplaying and the art of the hero, a roleplaying module or two, cultural notes and game background articles for the Far Point and Northern Sartar in Glorantha, my Poems Ferrr Blokes collection, a Goddess shrine, Kalii's page (don't ask) and, when I get my courage up, some personal thoughts on masculinity, ecstasy, depression, and shamanic consciousness. Plus of course the usual links, lists, shamelessly doctored photos and silly gifs.

Take your time. Enjoy.

An eye is meant to see things.
The soul is here for its own joy.
A head has one use: For loving a true love.
Legs: To run after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,
for learning what men have done and tried to do.
Mysteries are not to be solved. The eye goes blind
when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.
But when he finds his love, whatever was lost
in the looking comes back completely changed.... [Old Grumpy Guts Demands Catharsis]

From Someone Digging In The Ground by Rumi,
translated by Coleman Barks.

Here's what you'll find on these pages...

I am a part of everything
I see...

Passion
Pure Indulgence on my part. Personal stuff. Ten things my net friends don't know about me. Tiny small things that I love. Literature, art, intuitions and obsessions. Poetry, myth, music. One hundred great books. Poetry as a spiritual discipline. Why 'ecstasy' is such an important word to me. And what it really means.

Homo Intelligendo
Non Fit Omnia
Heroes
Men and women I look to for inspiration, and why... Builders and dreamers and doers. Poets and shamans and musicians and crazy fools who somehow saw the world with new eyes.

Where all my ladders start...
Poems Ferrr Blokes

And for women who care.
A collection of world poetry relating to men, gender and change. And yes, I'm looking for contributions.

That I was blessed
And could bless...
Spirit

Mythology and masculinity, the Mens Movement and the common journey of men and women to community and wholeness.

Enactive Mythology
Glorantha

Glorantha is a Bronze Age storytelling setting created by my friend Greg Stafford. Here is some of my published fiction, roleplaying background material for the Far Place, and my Questlines columns on 'The Art of the Hero' from Tales of the Reaching Moon.
