Time to reflect

I'm typing this from deepest Sussex in the fantastic surroundings of Roffey Park Institute where I'm on my 3rd Masters residential. It's great to meet up with my fellow cohort members and to be exposed to top class academics and speakers. Most of all it's so beneficial to be away from the desk and from home, in 44 acres of beautiful countryside with time to reflect. Time to be and not to do. We are after all human beings not human doings. It's useful for me to remember that sometimes.

A famous quote is called for here.
"The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom."
James Allen : English author of As A Man Thinketh
(1864 - 1912)
