The world is strange, dangerous, complicated, full of strife, full of beauty and wondrous; and the opportunity and experience of life stretches beyond the everyday, beyond physical boundaries within which so many feel trapped as they struggle to survive. It takes time to get a handle on life.

Unfortunately, far too much time can be spent simply discovering that which you are instinctively searching for but cannot find – that which fulfills one’s need for balance and contentment – for having to deal with the circus going on around you; a world bereft of reason. Within are pieces of the puzzle of human existence, truths, oddities, food for thought, ideas and ways of viewing life which may not have occurred because life has been spent on less productive pursuits.

There is some added anecdotal material; an unavoidable inclusion if I were going to get serious about providing something of a heads-up for the uninitiated. But if you think it’s fantasy, think again. Bon Voyage!
