That mindset is still so entrenched in society, along with “what was she wearing” & “she shouldn’t have put herself in that situation”, completely removing responsibility for men’s behavior.

The only thing faster than the speed of light is compassion. The ability to teleport instantaneously from the centre of your being to another’s centre and feel their suffering through their eyes.

When we say (and feel) ‘I am’ it is not only as a human being, but also as the whole of Humanity and all life on Earth, and elsewhere in the cosmos. ‘I am’ is the vibration of the entire Universe.

Look what Santa brought me! The LEGO Star Trek Enterprise— I wanted this set so badly, it's almost insane. Now, I have to resist the temptation to open it before the holidays begin...

"This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye" - William Blake, The Everlasting Gospel Having the courage to see the evidence of direct experience, instead of blindly following one's conditioning.

WILLIAM BLAKE (1757-1827) English poet and painter. The Dance of Albion from his work A Large Book of Designs , published between 1793 and 1796.

Went to an exhibition in Amsterdam featuring the work of Dutch photographer Cor Rentmeester. This 1984 photo of Michael Jordan for Nike became truly iconic.

What can I say? Michael Ende’s Momo is so much more than a children’s book. And what a cover! How to have a meaningful life, rather than exhaust oneself in a relentless rat race. And how to confront and transcend one's deepest fears. My next read will be The Neverending Story by the same author!

We watched Annie Hall probably for the 8th time, because of the passing of Diane Keaton. In spite of all the controversy around Woody Allen, I just can’t unlove his movies.

Being able to give my undivided attention to a book is such a richness, but cat Lizzie doesn’t always agree. Currently enthralled by this fantasy classic (Mythago Wood), about mythical creatures emerging from a medieval forest in post-war England.

One of my favourite Rumi poems, about being open to whatever shows up in your life. It needs courage.

Two friends with very different souls. One a monk dedicating his life to God, away from the world. The other an artist grasping all sensual pleasures. The warmth and love between them. What a heartfelt masterpiece!

Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek: “Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms.” How far have we drifted away.

If I were sent to an uninhabited island and only allowed one item, it would be The Masnavi by Rumi. Hope they also throw in a chamber music ensemble playing Bach’s Goldberg Variations to get me to sleep.

It’s not a small step from War and Peace to The Priory of the Orange Tree with dragons soaring through the sky but it’s a refreshing experience and I love it.
