and Dr Hawkins' iconic prayer:

Lord Almighty, ever living God
I ask you to be a vehicle of your divine love
I ask to be a channel of your divine will
I ask you for the right direction and
Your divine assistance
to surrender all personal will
through devotion to your truth

I ask your help to dedicate my very life to your service
Help me to choose love and peace above all other options

Help me to commit myself to the goal of unconditional love and compassion for all life- in all its expressions

Help me to surrender all judgement to you at all times
Glory to you God in the highest

‘The City and Its Uncertain Walls’ , Haruki Murakami

Just finished "On the Beach" by Neville Shute. Beautifully written yarn about the end of the world, courtesy of a nuclear war between, initially, China and Russia but spreads to the entire northern hemisphere, that only lasts a month but is so intense that the radioactive fallout spreads across the entire world, killing everything in its path. An early - and possibly the best - example of dystopian fiction in my view.

Now moved on to something more cheerful: "Diplomacy" by Henry Kissinger - a history of the development of the diplomatic arts across the world, and in particular the US..... Most of them seem to have been sadly forgotten by today's generation of diplomats who seem incapable of finding agreement on anything.

Henryk Sienkiewicz – „Listy z Afryki”

Burmese Days by George Orwell. Novel based on his time in the British Colonial Service in the dying Empire between the Wars.... It's an interesting read. Sadly, my country has little to be proud of in its treatment of other countries (then and now).
