What is the purpose of writing? To share insight, the fruit of our imagination, experience and knowledge — or to simply explore the highs and lows of shared humanity.

What is the purpose of belief? I am convinced it serves all of the above, but with one important difference. There is a supreme designer of humanity that identifies with our needs and took on the mantle of suffering to add to our understanding of both God and Man.

Whether we accept it or not, all our lives are shaped by these two pillars of civilisation: our biological birthright, and the spiritual insight that runs parallel to our eternal destiny.

For everyone at some stage may well ask, “what’s the point?” The miracle of life is often uneven — unequally distributed in fortune, and cut far shorter than anyone could foresee. The randomness of life, without any acknowledgement of eternity, is like a ship constantly floating without ever being aware of a distant shore.

My invitation to readers is to dip their toe in the water, and gradually immerse themselves into the ever-changing currents — and experience where the journey takes them. Bon Voyage!
