| Description: | Biologically, and, philosophically, we can consider ourselves as "complex adaptive systems". As such, we are dynamic, interactive organisms......we are always "becoming not being". We create a sense of ourselves through narrative. We are the heroes of our own stories. There's a tendency for us to go through life on autopilot - like zombies. Our challenge, our opportunity, is to wake up, make choices, and become the heroes of our own lives. |

The Selected Works of T S Spivet
The Selected Works of T S Spivet is quite unique (ISBN 978-1-846-55277-9). It’s a novel by Reif Larsen and tells the story of 12 year old T S Spivet who maps everything he comes across. He draws the most illuminating, enlightening and thought provoking diagrams and maps and the novel is liberally illustrated with them down the margins of virtually every page. I can’t remember the last time I was so delighted by a book. Utterly engaging, charming, thought provoking, funny, and, in places, intensely moving. The novel uses the device of the innocence of the child observer to great effect. You begin to look at the world anew after reading a book like th

TM benefits in reducing heart disease
There’s a pretty substantial number of references to research showing health benefits from the practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM), but a new piece of research is especially interesting. The Medical College of Wisconsin carried out a study of 201 African American men and women who had heart disease (average age, 59). They were randomised in two groups. One group were given lifestyle education (diet, exercise etc), and the other group was taught how to practice TM. After 9 years the TM group had a 47% reduction in deaths, he

Does anyone know what makes these marks?
This isn’t a quiz….well, at least, not in the sense that I know the answer! I came across these strange marks on fallen trees in a forest recently. Have you any idea what makes this happen? Is it a fungus? An insect? A worm?? Look at the variety, it’s quite astonishing!
