As I was reading about this fascinating book, I could not believe my eyes, how much and how deeply it was resonating with me, my life, my journey, pain, healing, finding joy, appreciating mother nature, finding solace in poetry and much more.

“If human vices such as greed and envy are systematically cultivated, the inevitable result is nothing less than a collapse of intelligence. A man driven by greed or envy loses the power of seeing things as they really are, of seeing things in their roundness and wholeness, and his very successes become failures. If whole societies become infected by these vices, they may indeed achieve astonishing things but they become increasingly incapable of solving the most elementary problems of everyday existence.”

‘Father Forgive’: Coventry Cathedral and my journey of discovery
The 1930s were humanity's darkest, bloodiest, and ugliest hour. Is the world steadily sliding back to the chaos of the 1930s?
At these times of personal, societal and global challenges, confusion, pain, fear, economic decline and many more uncertainties, coupled with the rise of populism, intolerance, protectionism, exceptionalism, pseudo-nationalism, and isolationism, we cannot, but turn to humanity and wisdom and learn from the healing story of Coventry Cathedral. Carpe diem!
