When I started this journey in 1963 I was full of a nothingness. By putting thoughts on paper I started to realise that my life was important, my way forward was to unmask that which was hidden. It was a painful journey but amid the pain I found the humour and the way forward. I have not written for a number of years now, but I remember with great affection those years my brain sprung forth and allowed me the privilege of being alive. I wrote, so I might share some of my thoughts, dreams, anxieties and love.
