By the natural course of every day, by the endeavours of faith and of family and of profession, the realities and the falsities of life abound.

I hope that by sharing my innermost reflections I shall learn something of myself, and of what my soul doth speak.

And if, by consequence, I acquire your eyes and your ears, then what greater happiness and wonderment is there than in the coming together of two strangers, by no more than words on a page.
