I am a young 72-year-old enjoying the best years of my life. Travelling, connecting with old friends and family, gardening, photography, reading: these are the matters that enrich and enliven my life, as long as I have times of silence to reflect on the meaning of it all. And thus to write.
Spending sixteen years in the Philippines was an extraordinary experience of chaos and re-construction of life and spirituality. Becoming a husband and a father was the fulfillment of hidden dreams. Twenty-five years as a Financial Planner was something I had never remotely dreamt about.
I am passionate to understand the stories of people and peoples which enlighten my own story. Through this site I seek to share the striving, risk and chaos I have experienced as well as the growth and fulfilment that has come my way. It is a way of “writing upon the wall of humanity”, sharing with innumerable people the task of searching for the meaning of all that is around and within us.
