About

This is the latest book in a series that began in the late 1990s. Throughout this process there has been a movement away from the personal and confessional to social and cultural observations.The first section, sharing is a representative selection. Then follows, a Lamma Legacy a tribute to the people of Lamma, a microcosm, where I spent a decade of my life.
The focus on belonging and cultural identity continues, exploring how various nations have established national myths, as part of the moving mosaic that we are all a part of.
We share in this, as we share in the beauty of the world, as defined in the final phase of this book.
The themes and ideals of this series have deepened and mellowed, reflecting a movement towards universal consciousness, perhaps a global awakening.
I hope you share in this dream!
