Forest of the night
There are two forests. The day forest and the night forest. To experience this you must walk in the forest, with not more than a single companion. A companion who knows how to handle himself in the forest, who understands the forest and who is familiar with it. Not a companion that needs looking after.

What is in my control
... My motto is: “I will not allow what is not in my control to prevent me from doing what is in my control.” There is no copyright on this. You are welcome to use it without giving me credit. You are even more welcome to practice it yourself, because results come only from action. Not from talking about taking action.

Family Farms
We must talk about these things. I am not under any illusion that we can turn the clock back much as some of us may wish. But we need to talk about what can be done to slow down the race towards total breakdown of family and society. It is almost over here in the West. But in India and Africa, there is still a chance.

Happy Another Chance
In 2025, let us resolve to rekindle our flame of idealism, to invest in ourselves by investing in others, to work to change the lives of others because that is the only way to change our lives. Let us ensure that we do our best and use all our resources to ensure that nobody is left behind. Let us do whatever we can because the truth is that a day will come when we will stand before our Creator. Then we will not be asked, “What happened?” We will be asked, “What did you do?”

Will you allow me to take her place?’ I looked up to see Ronnie. I deeply appreciated that she understood my grief and so I smiled. That friendship grew and lasted for nearly 50 years.
