Our continual challenge as sentient human beings is to embrace the capacity to observe with awe the immense beauty of our planet, and recognise the intrinsic ‘goodness’ of our fellow travellers, despite differences in culture, colour, creed or ideology.

Too often we are submerged in a tsunami of negative images, selectively provided by an unsympathetic 24/7 mass media, often too eager for a quick emotive ‘hit’ to our senses and sensibilities.

My first book ‘Our Benevolent Cosmos – Embracing the Mystery of Life’ highlighted the enchantment, rather than the unresolved nature of some of the most difficult questions in our lifetime.  This companion to that book, containing poetry and a summary of my own thoughts and hypotheses, continues to focus on the beauty of the world; the importance of the many dimensions of love; and the richness of the life we have been given.

Grant yourself the freedom to look beyond the rigid, self-made boundaries of our secular existence to green fields on the horizon, replete with abundant wildflowers and the promise of beauty, love and life!
