Exploring our history, beliefs and culture, embellished with my writings, ideas and photographs.
Each of us are unique individuals, but as races or nationalities I believe we should claim no special pride. Our personal ideas and passions are shared by many merely influenced by time and background. To me, history reveals many common threads as we develop in different lands and different eras. Our cultures travel, migrate, intermix and cross fertilise in appearance, thought and expression. This natural development appears to me to lead to broader truths that eventually become part of us all. I do however also observe that it is not our language, but our use of words that seem to cause misunderstanding. Words have their own baggage depending on our experience, memory and understanding. One must listen to what is truly said not merely the words used. With this in mind I hope that no one takes offence at anything on this site. I wish to look beyond what I think I believe and try to see if what surrounds me is as different as is often supposed. All I know, my first premise, begins with "I am" and then I hope to understand that "You are". In addition I must ever be conscious of the reminder 'Do not think thyself wise'.
It is a surprise to me that over the years more than a million visitors have come to my pages. It may not suit all, but as I have had many thousands of emails I believe that what I have assembled appeals to some. It is no more than sharing interests and I recommend referring to more authoritative books for full information. This is no more than an often updated attempt to spark some interest in our past.
