Sojourns...

I am a quiet, private person (some have said "reclusive"!) I spent 31 years of my life working for a government entity in foreign relations and diplomatic fields. It was there that I developed a marked disdain for anything political. I am therefore apolitical. I have always believed in self-reliance, self-sufficiency and personal responsibility as well as a sense of integrity and moral responsibility to ones' community, nation and the world as a whole. I maintain that there is no shortage of people willing to tell you their theories on everything from pea soup to philosophy. Finding someone who can listen however is nearly impossible. Listening may soon go the way of silence becoming another forgotten element in our modern world. If you want to make a difference learn to listen! If we hope to make a difference in life. That may be the most important thing one can do.
