1st Edition

 By Ian Wilson
 October 23, 1998



Ian Wilson My passions are dreams, consciousness, helping people help themselves. Living towards a better future for us all. I feel that I owe life a big debt of gratitude for what it has taught me in that, it is a short precious gift with little magical moments where love rules the day and laughter is the songs the soul does sing. But it has also shown me it's darkside, poverty, dispare, depression, apocolyptic probabilities and all the darkness I could swim in for one day. That's the price we pay for duality. My heart is in the light. Hopefully, we can just shine!
