Towards The Hills

<p>This book contains my memories of the life that I have lived and the people and events involved; my version of the truth; reality as I have perceived it. It has given me a sense of release similar I guess to that experienced by those who keep a diary to be able to write on a very personal level. More importantly it's been an outlet for expressing love love for my mum which otherwise would have nowhere else to go. Furthermore because my life has been scattered between two vastly different parts of the world drawing it all together in the pages of this book has provided me with a sense of continuity a cohesion of events. Lastly it's brought together in one volume a good number of my favourite poems songs scriptures and phrases (which previously were strewn all over the house in books and scribbled on bits of paper) favourite because they have instilled in me a hope that is unwaveringly steadfast - a hope that we are beseeched to share with those who are downcast and broken.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=ql-align-center>O God wherever I go today help me to leave heartprints!</p><p class=ql-align-center>Heartprints of compassion understanding and love.</p><p class=ql-align-center>Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern.</p><p class=ql-align-center>May my heart touch a lonely neighbour or runaway daughter</p><p class=ql-align-center> or anxious mother or even an aged grandfather.</p><p class=ql-align-center>Send me out today to leave heartprints.</p><p class=ql-align-center>And if someone should say 'I felt your touch' </p><p class=ql-align-center>May that one sense Your love touching through me.</p><p class=ql-align-center></p><p class=ql-align-right>    -Prayer by unknown author</p><p></p><p></p>
