GCGI Blogs: An Oasis of Hope, Love, Beauty, Wisdom
and Healing for a Kinder and more Loving World
Yes, indeed, these beautiful and truly human values – old-fashioned terms, they appear. They, it seems, are from a bygone era, long before a crudely standardised, values-free and for profit global mass media and lifestyle industry, projecting fake and meaningless goodness. But no. These values belong to all of us, giving meaning and reason to our lives and they must become, once again, the torch shedding light on our journey we call life.
Recently I was at a gathering with some family and friends and the topic of blogging came up. I was asked why I am drawn to, and interested in writing and posting these thought-provoking blogs. It was, I must admit, an interesting question and discussion which I would love to share the gist of it with you too.
For me, blogging is a way of feeling, touching, loving, hoping, and dreaming. It enables and empowers me to capture and crystalise what I have noted or read and stored in my mind, to remember forever, long after I have forgotten everything.

Can this professor in -The Fast Lane- be of any use to himself,
let alone to his students, family, friends or community?

In the dark days and nights we all need the healing power of a lighthouse. There is a lighthouse in each one of us, in each culture, civilisation and faith.
Yalda is the Lighthouse, a gift from ancient Persia and the ancient Zoroastrians
Great Mother Earth, bless us with true understanding of the cycles of your seasons!
