I studied languages - English, French, German while Afrikaans is my mother tongue. I majored in philosopy and suffered through the bone-dry formulations of the long-winded German philosophers, the depressing plays of the French existentialists and the self-important brilliance of Afrikaans afficionado's of philosophy. I found rational positivism unbearable and ran away.

Today my creed is to enlarge the imagination, play with fantasy, retrieve dreams, create visions, and I fell in love with quantum physics and astrogenetics - and Terry Pratchett, of course . I study the Internet for magic, from David Blaine to Wyan Dyer, and read with joy that Robert Monroe teaches we can have out-of-body travel in life. I believe in all esoteric phenomena and can only lament the fact that my brain has been Beeblebroxed so that I can't experience the supernatural and telepathy I read about - but that won't stop me from finding delight in it all!

I also write about my daily life and events that befall me, always surprised by the funny ways of the world, feeling daily more like a crocodile - a primitive reptile looking for more knowledge and insight, and thankful to a handful of very kind souls who help the crocodile to dream about being a princess, albeit a reptilian one hiding scales beneath a burka....
