A book wherein the author has much to say about the historic development of himself and the evolution of his thought. Call it an 'autography', inasmuch as he divides himself into two persons and presents himself as dialogue. Friends and relations appear during the intervals.
A thoroughgoing analysis of a deep-seated error of judgement plus detailed suggestions of how to avoid its consequences. Includes: the possession of our human nature, the enjoyment of total peace, Society as self-contained and misguided, society towards friendship, fellowship and community; the role of art in society.
A series of little stories and prose pieces. The author embodies the elemental passion that we mean when we say we experience panic.
A story about a confused boy who forces his attentions on a girl and how she handles the situation with the help of family and friends.
A collection of poems composed over a period of several years, most of them written on the spot outdoors, jotter in hand, on extended walks, in Northern Ireland, in Italy, in Crete.
Two semi-autobiographical works, full of fantasy and invention, of self-knowledge and understanding, testifying to the progress of the human spirit. Two related sketches in the one book.
Both the Fifteen Little Stories and the prose pieces are composed serially, which means that something may be gained by reading them in order, from beginning to end - something that works under the surface and is not to be identified by the critical mind. It is in short works like this that an author's development often takes significant steps forward. Seeds are sown that spring to life in later and larger works.
Manifold thought about education formal and informal plus some closely related concerns, arrived at during a time of some personal involvement at a school.
When we are about to evolve, merciful good spirit moves in mysterious ways indeed and we do well to learn how to trust implicitly. This book is an inspiration, written after a second reading of Madame Guyon's autobiography.
It presents a choice, this essay in dialogue form. It is to help us think more clearly about some of our illusions in relation to the modern world. It was written in 1989, so much of the thought presented here is developed in later years.
The physical experience of the personal truth as Christ, related imaginatively and thoughtfully.
Poetry that unites thought and feeling. (The last 15 poems are in German.)
89 Poems for pleasure - all written within a period of six months and reflective of intimate personal development during that time.
127 items of verse - for example: A Proposition A ruined city, a costly war - But a bright sky, no fireworks, now, Though you fret to be back in harness. My nature is milk, my love wine, You have thoroughly enlightened me. Now glance in my direction one last time.
It should be possible sensibly to compare philosophy and religion. If the former is love of knowledge then the latter is love of god and fellow man. In terms of love, both make sense. Both imply something that is done, something practical. Just as the love of knowledge for its own sake is down to earth, undiluted by ideal content and free of criticisms, so is the love of god and fellow man contemporary, unlimited in its scope as to how we love and in how many ways.
These fairly short stories are lighthearted, a little bit thought-provoking and while fantasy here and there plays a role, they are not 'fantastic', in terms of magic, mayhem and monsters. I wrote them for my grandchildren when they were between about eight and fourteen years old. - In the end one really has to let parents decide what is suitable for their offspring.
