My philosophy is to doubt everything with a loving heart - doubt is the acid test of truth - and to see as much of the world as possible. We live in interesting times. To my kids and friends, I give my grandmother Alexa's advice: "do the right thing" I have learnt enough in a half a century+ on this planet to realise that I don't know much; there is just so much to know about. Meantime, I savour the joy and the good when it comes, but don't expect them to be there all the time. The reality of life is both joy and pain. My personaility is romanitic, questing and inquisitive. My aspiration is to look on to still water with the sun shining as much as possible. Meanwhile, I will take an interest in most things. I love people. I find the cosmos and creation fascinating. I hate those who cloud or ignore the truth, I venerate those who search for it with love.
