About the Book
I've always suffered from dyslexia but although I have mentioned this fact to my family and close friends; my quick wit, confidence and my generally eloquent manner of conversation has always hidden just how seriously the condition has affected parts of my life. This struggle has given me a unique perspective on the world and helped me to look at situations and people not just through words, which I've always struggled to do, but through the actions of Belief, perception and circumstance of an individual With these works I have tried to use words in a simplistic fashion to engage people of all abilities and hopefully to notice, see and establish the truth of which I write. I am of a philosophical view with a pragmatic, optimistic outlook in regards to the world's problems and strife's. I think my ultimate goal is to draw attention to society's understanding of perception. Enjoy my writing and endeavour to make sense of what I'm trying to express.
About the Author
What I can tell you about myself at this stage in my life, is that I am a traveller, a student of the human condition and a free spirit. I am the proverbial if not metaphorical hobo always striving to (philosophically) endeavour to understand and help others in the pursuit of my path. My defining character is a passion for people but with an element of frustration. I always encourage others to cut through the sways of the societal conditioning we've been brought up with and go through everyday. I want us to see more... To see past the veil and recognise that the fundamentals of life amount to belief, perception and circumstance. I could be described as a kitchen knife, blunt on one side, sharp on the other and always to the point..
