I learned many important life lessons about what it is to be human and how differently this is defined depending on where one happened to be born or raised. How different it is depending on gender and race. What is considered "suffering" or being "free" has as much to do with one's external circumstances as what goes on internally in our hearts and minds. What are rights and privileges, and are humans really entitled to everything we want? These questions and the truths I acquired have been critical in providing me what I refer to as a "compass for the soul." Find the kernel of simple truths through the clutter. A lack of moral clarity that makes living in our ever-increasing world so chaotic and confusing for those who have lost their compass or never realized there was one.I have dedicated my life to giving to those around me. After attending SFU, I became a social worker specializing in the area of child welfare almost 30 years. I hope that, in sharing my writing, others too may find it a comfort to have a compass to help navigate their lives as humans on this planet.This is my first writing project. I am childless by choice. I live with my genius dog Monty, near Vancouver, BC. I am also passionate about music, art and tennis.visualizza meno
