    Yards of silk slip effortlessly through Moira’s fingers. She draws a length of cream, draping it here, pinning it there. A silhouette comes to life, the echo of a dress. The bride and her mother exchange glances. A thrill of destiny, a sense of serendipity. Bolts of ivory and champagne and dusty rose clutter the worktable behind them. Rolls of velvet, satin and chiffon create a landscape of textiles, rivers and clouds.

    It was just a few hours ago at one of those faux cafes on the corner of Atlantic and Fifth that I began to have a premonition which had such weight that its conception sent my head deep into the dark recesses of the earth. George Berkeley tells us that perception is nothing but essence; it is in this sense that I knew the world must have ceased in its existence of ‘being’ sometime between then and when I must have fallen away. Premonitions like these are too powerful to tell us anything other than that which already happened. With all this in mind – and with the knowledge that God’s inscrutabi...TDwone door
