His career with a multinational company allowed him to live in such greatly differing cultures and environments as Switzerland, Brazil, Iran and India and to travel to many others parts of our crowded planet. Common to all of our widely scattered human ‘family’ is the need to reach out to something other-worldly outside themselves and their earth-bound state. Pyramids, temples, mosques, cathedrals or simple wayside shrines all in their different ways articulate mankind’s everlasting quest for an understanding of his origins— his place in the great scheme of things and his ultimate destiny within it. Following his retirement to Devon it is the soaring splendour of the Gothic cathedrals and churches of England which is the author’s particular love and the inspiration for the present study.voir moins
