Making Life Choices

We make plans for our lives, charting out how to spend our time either productively or socially.  Before I left the UK, over two weeks ago, I thought that I had a plan for my new life here in Asia. It proved to be an illusion. Unworkable. Consequently, I have had to rethink matters. I have to go back to work again as I need to both generate an income and be productive.

He selected Grey Owl from his home library, a movie from 1999 that was directed by Richard Attenborough, the film director who has made a number of films that feature famous people from history. You may remember that he directed Gandhi which portrayed the struggle of that great man in his quest for Indian Independence. Grey Owl was the Native American name for Archibald Stansfield Belaney, a man who was born English in that most English of towns, Hastings. Hastings, where William The Conqueror defeated the Saxon king Harold and established the Norman dynasty which changed history and the future of what was then a series of kingdoms in
