REFLECTIONS: A Tapestry of Thoughts* is a collection of the author’s writings over a four-year period (2012-2015) - 2ND REVISED EDITION. Some of the essays initially appeared as a monthly ‘reflection’ in the author’s newsletter. Other essays were published as stand-alone pieces - either adapted from material in his books or as one-off writings. Also included are the transcripts from two interviews. The range of topics covers both the macro and the micro: from global affairs to the inner life of the individual. Some of the themes touched upon include social transformation, our changing times, human behaviour, and our personal states of being - in a way that is timeless. The collection includes forty-three essays; each accompanied by an ancient tale. Two interview transcripts and a longer essay form an appendix that closes the collection. These Reflections - collected together as a whole - form a tapestry: a mosaic that reflects off a much bigger picture. *Please Note: this is a completely revised, expanded, and updated edition that replaces the previous ‘Reflections’ (2015). The new edition contains all new material; as such, the previous edition has now been de-listed and retired from stock.
