A Beautiful Life

<p>A Beautiful Life recollects my life journey as it unfolded from the glorious days of a young boy enchanted by his Grandfather?s stories to the present where the young boy is now a Grandfather himself. Along the way there have been many wrong turns and a lot of personal pain but somehow through the healing power of writing and those around me at the time who cared the passion for life survived.</p> <p>The book includes many poems written at the time of the experiences which provide insight into my wellbeing and how I dealt with the situation. These poems I now view as Primary sources and the Spiritual Signposts which directed me forward along the way.</p> <p>Of course my work as a Teacher of students not born in Australia features heavily throughout the book. As I provided them with the tools of a new language they rewarded me with their stories of survival and hope for the future. This interactional process of teaching and learning enriched the lives of everyone involved.</p> <p>And finally you the reader.</p> <p>I am certain that you will see yourself somewhere amongst the pages.</p>
