I am a 65-year-old retired person who is still active. I am a life coach, adult educator and writer. I live in Pretoria, South Africa, with my wife and 7-year-old daughter. My younger daughter's name is Caitlin after the wife of Dylan Thomas. I am an avid reader and also love listening to music of most kinds but in particular jazz and classical. I have a blog where I post writings on music and training and development issues: Click Here visit my blog to see what else I am interested in. Who I'd like to meet: Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Natalie Goldberg John le Carre Nigel Kennedy

Two of my favourite quotes: "Don't walk behind me - I might not lead; don't walk in front of me - I might not follow; just walk beside me and be my friend" - Albert Camus "Life, at its best, is a flowing, changing process in which nothing is fixed." - Carl R. Rogers Isn't it exciting to be alive? Frightening at times, but what a challenge! - those are thoughts from me! Another quote I find useful, though I don't know the source: "There is no way to peace, peace is the way." (Thanks to a friend I have now found the source of this quote. It is from A.J. Muste, a writer, philosopher and humanist.)  And on a similar note though more graphically expressed by I think Jerry Rubin: "Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity."

A new quote I have just discovered from Albert Einstein: "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

I have started a new blog where I can vent and rant and rave about issues that concern or interest me, called "Brickbats and Backchat". I invite others to join me there:
