Patchwork Philosophy

Introduction

I have had the idea of this book for many years and have, at last, made a start on putting my thoughts down on paper. I did initially think I would give the book the title of The Earth Mother's Diary but on reflection thought that sounded rather twee. My next visualised title was Whoever said progress was a One-way Street? but, once again, I wasn't convinced by the impact this would create even though it represented a lot of my opinions.

Eventually due to the nature and content of my book I hit upon the notion of Patchwork Philosophy which seemed to fit the bill perfectly, so here it is. I would stress that if some of my ideas seem offensive to anyone, please don t take offence, they are purely my own thoughts, ideas and principles upon which I try and live by.
