Upon waking each day
My first words to my heart always are
“Tell me all your news of Love.”
Hafiz
We are a couple of barroom sailors
I wake from a nap
And the same clear words greet my mind
That I say every day upon waking,
“Where can I find the Friend?”
I eat and dress and labor
For only one reason.
But why explain about the essential today
And demean the holy?
We are a couple of barroom sailors,
Marooned,
In need of good drink and fine company
To true our perceptions.
Otherwise,
I get a tad concerned about that odd look
That sometimes creeps into your eyes–
That seems to mistake me for a pretty,
Available mermaid.
Upon waking each day
My first words to my heart always are
“Tell me all your news of
Love.”

Now I write, teach and coach mainly about 21stC 'interfaith as inter-spirituality' - and how we can grow closer to our True Self.
.
As anyone who knows anything about IPF will realize my energy is curtailed - so I am concentrating primarily on 'inter-spirituality'.
.
In the past I would have said that:
.
1) I run courses and give talks at conferences and in universities and colleges in the UK, China, USA, Canada, Scandinavia etc.
.
2) I provide materials, outlines and lessons for Schools.
.
3) My range of interests include personal development, learning and teaching, photography and film, the arts generally, spirituality and educational practice and theory.
.
4) At the same time I continue developing the human-centred studies SunWALK PDS (People Development System) - a whole-person, high-achievement model for individuals, and for use in, NGOs, schools and other organizations.
.
5) The key question that continues to animate me and my work remains, "What is it to be fully and positively human?"

All good wishes
