In the beginning...

One day while taking shelter from the rain in London's Oxford Street, I started to chat to somebody also taking refuge. Just a simple encounter but after I felt enriched and profoundly moved by her story. It wasn't planned. It wasn't sought, nor manipulated. It just happened. I realised that in my life I have so many of these encounters. Some people seem entirely sane and rational. Some appear to have different struggles and different challenges. Although I call these ones the crazies, it is done with affection. All, the crazies and the rational have done me the honour of sharing a few moments of their lives with me. So, just after a few of these encounters in a row I thought would like to record these gems.

Least, that was the thought, the catalyst for this Blog but then I thought I would just expand it to write about things, just things, as they occur and as the moment takes me and inspires me to write or not. Any stories from the crazies and others can get written about as and when they occur, naturally along the way. I thought I'd just see where this takes me.
