The call of Nature
Following on from my most recent blog of a few days ago, I am reminded of a project I did back in my university days. My final year thesis was an investigation into the feasibility of teaching a subject on Creative Reasoning within scientific studies, and one of the points I discussed which was the...

Offending behaviour
I am getting old. We all are. That's a part of the natural course of a life. We accumulate knowledge and experiences, and the world leaves its mark in our faces and bodies. For me, the grey hairs started arriving a few years back. I taught myself to dye my own hair. Now I find... Continue Reading →
The Sins of the Father
Today, I am reminded of one of my previous articles, about my panic attacks. It dawned on me that it has been quite a while since I've had one... almost since I posted the article. Yet I am confronted by another troubling issue. My dear daughter, who appears to be suffering from her own version... Continue Reading →
Lonely Voices
Some days I remember What I knew; How it felt; Who I was. Lonely voices tell me It was real; It was truth; It was me. I recall a poem I once wrote; I once felt; I once knew. I sit with others in a crowded room. I talk with others in a crowded room.... Continue Reading →
Blithe Spirit – Black Swan – 2015
I saw the show on Monday night, and I will say upfront, it is a great show. Solid performances in general, many an amusing moment, and plenty of subtle verbal and visual gags to keep everyone entertained. Well worth the evening. For me, I was disappointed, and that is because I am such a fan... Continue Reading →
Ghostly Tales
Tonight I am going to see Blithe Spirit, a ghostly comedy by Noel Coward, and a favourite tale of mine. I am a believer in spiritual and ghostly presences, having had my fair share of no-other-explaination-possible experiences. However, I tend to look at the ghostly realm with a more scientific and questioning mind. There is... Continue Reading →
The Hard Road Part 9 – Making a Stand
This brings the story to almost now, and there are things happening in my life now that once upon a time, I may have been unable to manage, and may very well have found myself contemplating the unthinkable yet again. Yet I am not. I feel I have "matured," and in the true sense of... Continue Reading →
The Hard Road Part 8 – Perspectives
I was changing my view of the world. What I began to realise, and not just superficially, but innately, was just how much our world view is dependent on our individual perspectives. We aren't just all different, we see the world differently. Yet the evidence is all around us. I began to appreciate how much... Continue Reading →
The Hard Road Part 7 – Journeys End
So began a process of self-discovery, and the culmination of life experiences into a concrete philosophy. I drew on everything I read which seemed to fill the gaps with what I knew. I sort information and advice where-ever I could find it. I relived interesting events in my life, which I have not recounted so... Continue Reading →
