Charlie Alice Raya
Visionary meddler
I am.
I like that.
I am.
And my name is Charlie Alice Raya.
Not my legal name. Charlie Alice Raya is the name of my choice.
It stands for all the Charlies and all the Alice’s of this world, it incorporates my dual gender, and it hopes for that bright ray of sunshine which is complemented by a relaxing big Ah!
I needed some decades to get ahead of the mess of my early days, and now I feel just a bit like that smoky whisky which simply required those decades to develop its very own flavour, depth and strength.
My story is a lot longer and complex. But I like to look ahead. Presently, I emerge from a long period of recovery, and I’m ready to do my bit for humanity and the planet.
Stories are my tool, my playground, and together with ideas and inspirations my main contribution.
There are a lot more fictional stories than I will ever be able to write, even if I was only in my twenties. Which I’m not. I’m in my fifties and I can’t confirm any of the horror stories I’ve heard about this time. I find it quite perfect.
Anyway, since there is such an overflow, I would like to share these seeds of stories, in particular for stories which create visions for what we are capable of.
I do understand the lure of crawling through the mud, bathing in blood and crossing ever more lines into the unthinkable.
But as our planet is in such a mess, my stories aim at helping us to see and find our potentials and to see and experience how these potentials can be used.
We have the potential to be terrible. There is no question about that. But we also have the potential to be clever, to be bold, to evolve.
The world record I mentioned above could be a wonderful event where such stories could send rippling waves across the planet.
I am game. Are you?
