was born a child in St. Mary's Hospital, Archway, London - of Joan Grove & Lou Grove - conceived of a relationship of LOVE - established during, & in spite of , the horrific events of World War II - & bearing in mind Erich Fromm's words - MAN's main task in LIFE is to give birth to himself
A child who was - in the words of his headmaster - on gaining entrance to Boreham Wood Grammar School at the age of 11 years - destined to set the world on fire !

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise
Awake!
Awake O sleeper of the land of shadows, wake! expand!…
Weep at thy soul's disease, and the Divine Vision is darkened…”
William Blake
From being a child, I have long held the viewpoint - that the ‘force' inside of me was the same force that existed in everyone else - regardless of race, language or religion - & that everybodies position was NOT their own - but that which they had been encouraged to partake in - through the ‘efforts' of parents, piers, teachers, leaders etc.
I could not then understand or initially come to terms with - why so much of the big picture - which I have always found so easy to comprehend - was seemingly inaccessible to ALL of those that I came in contact with.
Equally - & in stark contrast to this understanding - at 60 years of age I have yet to master the art of tying my shoe laces and have long since subscribed to the likes of Timberland footwear.
Up to 9 years of age I was - without question - @peace with the world & all that it then comprised for me - but an event then took place in my life when - during a thrashing from my piers, I would have strangled a fellow human being to death, had it not been for others prising my hands away from the throat of my potential ‘victim' - in the flash of the moment I realised I could no longer survive in the world I inhabited - unless I began to stand up for myself and adopt the ways that others - in this strange world - had established as their modus operandi.
I subsequently came to the understanding that my destiny in life was to provide the mechanisms by which ALL my fellow human beings could be @ peace with the world & all that it comprised for them.
I realised I could no longer survive in the world I inhabited - unless I began to stand up for myself and adopt the ways that others….
I understand, brother.
