PILGRIMAGE – A WORD TO THE WAYFARER
 Nil ISBN 2012
This publication is not an autobiography rather it is the recording of mental and spiritual discoveries over the years of the author’s life. It describes a journey, and every human being is travelling on a journey (whether short or long) from physical birth to death.
The Welsh pirate, Bartholomew Roberts (called ‘Black Bart’ after his death) had this to say about life: “…a merry life and a short one shall be my motto”, but this does not apply to everyone. The author is ‘seventy years plus seven’, and believes he does enjoy a merry life.
As well as ‘comment’, the book contains very interesting anecdotal material worthy to pass on to the next generation. The reader may not agree with some ‘comments’ made in the book – that is your privilege. There are questions posed…you may have an answer to these questions.
The bottom line is: the author’s hope that what you read here will help in your journey of life … for this is its purpose.
The 40-page self-produced and published book is of limited print.
