Welcome folks.... I'm a Filosophical Phorester, using my career of work with tropical trees, forests and people in the context of development to explore the meaning of life, love and the universe. I come at these subjects as an enthusiastic amateur, from a Christian understanding, but I'm open to all viewpoints. I value the truth in all subjects, both theological and scientific, especially where these two disciplines overlap. One explains WHY? whereas the other explains HOW? I hope you will find something that will resonate with your interests in what I have written about the whyhow. If you don't agree, tell me about it. I like open discussion! Enjoy browsing, and do take a look at the Octaikon Resources website - fruit of some 25 years of musings. I've also made available a reprint of an excellent book by my father-in-law, and also by our younger son (one of four children that my wife Gilli and I have been blessed with!) All titles are priced at production costs. Postage is extra.
