Books.

At each stage of my life when I”ve stood at a crossroads - a book has appeared to move me forward.

Keith Miller’s biography ‘Cricket Crossfire’ as a boy taught me sportsmanship and camaraderie among men.

‘Reach for the Sky’ in my early teens taught me triumph over adversary and chivalry in war.

‘Emerson’s Essays’ in my mid-teens taught me about the divinity of loving someone who doesn’t love me back.

‘The History of Philosophy’ in my late teens taught me the riches of thought and that we stand on the shoulders of giants.

‘Jonathon Livingston Seagull’ in my late teens taught me that I was connected in my alone thoughts with others.

‘The Road Less Travelled’ in my early twenties taught me from its opening sentence: ‘Life is difficult’.

And the Bible has taught me different things at each stage of my life I've opened it.
