A Way of Seeing
A Dedication to Those Who Look Differently
This space was created for those who have never quite fitted into the world as it is.
For the quiet ones, the questioners, the dreamers and the outliers. For those whose difference has been called wrong, strange, or broken — and who are only now beginning to see that their difference was the gift all along.
Here, we learn not to turn away from pain but to walk toward it, for within the wound lies the door to wisdom. Here, compassion is not an idea but a practice — a way of seeing that softens what was once hard, and brings light to what was hidden.
The words and images within these pages are seeds. They may fall gently or stir the soil fiercely; both are sacred. Take what resonates, leave what does not, but above all, let them remind you that healing does not mean becoming someone else.
It means remembering who you already are.
This is A Way of Seeing — a space for rediscovery, for awakening, for wholeness.
May it serve those who, like Turing, Galileo, Copernicus, and countless unnamed souls, dared to see the world not as it was, but as it could be.
A Way of Seeing: It’s All a Matter of Perception
- Are you afraid to be vulnerable?
- Would you like to learn how to be more authentic, open and honest?
- Would you like all your relationships to be more fulfilling?
- Would you like to release decades of suppressed emotion and feeling?
When we’re born, we’re a blank canvas of possibility and opportunity. We’re born with courage in our hearts and vibrancy in our souls. As soon as we take our first breath, the first brushstrokes are made on the canvas, as our experiences, environment, and upbringing create landscapes and abstract textures. Slowly, over time, this can redefine our essence of Self as we take on the beliefs, ideals, expectations, judgements and pain of others, as well as our own choices and decisions, carving out new shapes and dimensions.
My own journey in life took me to a place of deep pain. My experiences led me down some dark and challenging pathways. I allowed the blank canvas of me to be covered in the paint of people’s needs and wants, expectations and limits, and I also tried to paint the masterpiece I thought I ought to paint, thereby hiding the true me in the process.
Whilst I spent time trying to brush over what others had painted, this left the unexpressed anger and rage hiding underneath. Not only did I have to remove their paint, but I had to acknowledge and take responsibility for my own choices and brushstrokes in order to rediscover the pristine canvas of me once again and to accept myself as my perfectly imperfect Self. It was only then that I could paint my own shades of harmony, the real me.
This book, then, is a philosophical and spiritual paint remover wrapped in metaphor.
A Way of Seeing: It’s All a Matter of Perception is my journey from restriction to freedom, from constraint to choice, from imprisonment to liberty.
- Do you want to experience this for yourself?
- Do you want to experience freedom, choice and liberty?
If so, step into the unknown with me as your guide.

The Trilogy explores the evolution of one’s consciousness. It is a metaphor for my life’s journey. Hopefully, it will become a record to which I can return to see where I have travelled in my fall down the rabbit hole to find a more profound peace and release.
Already, several readers have gained insights into their own lives and reinterpreted past events with a new and brighter light.
One can lose sight of our inner child. I know I lost sight of mine. Some of our pain comes from turning away from the inner child as they exhibit elements other people think of as crazy or different to what is considered “normal”. I’m not sure what “normal” is. Do you?
I started wearing long trousers when in my junior school. The others didn’t like this as they still wore short trousers. They bullied me. I can see now that they were feeling jealous. Rather than work out why they were jealous, they blamed me for what they were feeling. At that age, none of us had the wisdom or awareness to see another way of seeing. I don’t think many adults have grown past this stage.
