About the author
Having left the Parachute Regiment (where he saw service in Cyprus and Jordan), he embarked on an entrepreneurial business adventure throughout Africa and the Middle East. He returned to Europe to live in the South of France. Later, he took his family to live in the Highlands of Scotland to farm a small hill farm.
He was elected the Lord Rector of Aberdeen University, wrote a major work of poetry on the Falklands conflict, and campaigned the 'Scottish Enterprise' in the Formula One World Yachting Grand Prix in Scotland, Germany, San Diego, and Freemantle - Western Australia.
Sadly, his first wife Vicki died when she was only forty-five.
A while later he was to marry again and with his new wife Maria added to his family by producing his youngest son.
When this lad became a teenager, like most youngsters of that age, he wasn't sure what he wanted to do with his life, and this small book was penned on a trans-Atlantic flight to see if it could provide some direction for his offspring.
Since then, the book has done the rounds of all age groups until finally, Robert was encouraged to publish as it was believed that the meditations contained in this small book would be of value to people of all age groups.
