The industry I am engaged in is to create across the world-wide-web a tapestry of poetry and prose. At this site, readers will find my blog, one of the many parts of this tapestry. This literary creation, this industry created by a membership of one, this self-employed individual, this retired teacher and lecturer who is now 63 attempts to endow various themes and a wide range of social science and humanities subjects with many layers of meaning across the internet. I try to evoke a complex range of responses in readers who come upon my work. As initiator of this prose-poetry project it is my hope that over the many decades of my life I have developed a writing style which, while trying to fuse together material from many academic disciplines, from my own life and my religion, the Baha'i Faith, achieves a degree of both the provocative and the interesting on the one hand; and the entertaining and intellectually stimulating on the other. There are now many thousands of readers engaged in this tapestry, this industry, that I have created. It is my conviction that the Baha'i Faith has a significant role to play in the growing unification of the planet but I do not engage in any sort of aggressive proselytising at the more than 4000 websites that are part of this personal and industrious exercise. I do possess an obvious enthusiasm for my religion or I would not have been associated with it for over 50 years and I would not be promoting it in a multitude of forms as I do and have done since retiring from FT work in 1999, PT and casual work in 2003 and most volunteer work in 2005. It is my hope that what I write as a result of this self-employment resonates with both the novitiate, the veteran Baha'i and others on a multitude of paths.
