Light and Shadow

With perhaps one exception, these short stories are about the human mind and its interaction with whatever environment it happens to encounter during life, and span a period from ancient to modern times.

Running through almost all of them is the theme of minds lit either by love and understanding or darkened by ignorance and egoistic concern. In all this, humour strikes here and there like lightening in a forest of human activity and from time to time there are moments when this ‘forest’ is also illuminated by a higher, inexplicable octave of mind that brings good to its denizens.
