Deer Wood Sustainabilty, Learn & Thrive

Based on what I have seen so far I think I am a fairly normal human being (complicated, with occasional interludes of clarity punctuated by thinly disguised moments of confusion).

I was pretty rubbish at literacy as a subject at school, partly because I was gifted the wonderfully stigmatic label of being Dyslexic. (I called it personally creative with words.)

I was singularly unmotivated by the methodologies of standard education back then, particularly when it came to the three R’s: Reading, (w) Riting and ‘(a)Rithmatic’. Indeed, I had to be dragged through the thorny scrub of O-Level English language by parental intervention and weekly extra curricula lessons-thanks Mum.

Eventually after much water under the bridge, I find myself here now, ironically doing quite a lot of writing whilst living in a woodland in a quiet corner somewhere on planet earth.
Speaks About

  • To my surprise (given my bumpy dyslexic’s start at school), slowly and steadily over the years I have discovered what a truly incredible and enjoyable medium the world of writing can be. For me it is not just a means to convey information, although it can do that quite adequately in the right hands. Where writing really comes into its own is as a medium for exploring the Mysteries of the Universe pertaining to the human heart, mind & Spirit.
  • For some reason English seems to be a particularly good language as a tool for the creative writer, perhaps it owes this to it’s long history, evolution and eclectic etymology, who knows. Like any skilled person; the dancer, the cabinet-maker, the chef- the writer hones their particular unique style and skill by trial and error, familiarising themselves over time with their chosen medium. I find the act of writing can even be form of personal therapy, A means to getting out into the world that which lays hidden within. Writing in this sense enables me to explore my inner most self, getting it out in front of me on a page in forms that incorporate artistic, scientific, historic or philosophic and spiritual. This is the world of the poet and the songwriter who may deftly interweave aspects of all of the above into a piece of work that insightfully conveys the ineffable. As a trades-person who has always used my hands to earn a living the art and skills of handwriting are especially poignant; be it words in Arabic, Chinese, Sanskrit Roman or Cyrillic, the world’s languages as portrayed by a skilled Calligrapher are surely some of the most intriguing and beautiful manmade forms to behold, (even if we can not understand that language). When I think of that I feel a pang of sadness that even in this day and age, literacy is still a somewhat exclusive club unintentionally excluding those who stand at the side-lines because they have not been shown how.
