A look at how to survive human nature, our own and that of others, Mother Nature, the nature of the beast and some suggestions on how to tame the better nature into a sometime reliable commodity. A self-help book with a difference; a patchwork of poetry, prose and short stories covering topics as wide-ranging as Mothers, Christmas, animals, famous people, the dark side and much more. All of this from the perspective of a forties baby, 69 years of reminiscence, regrets, trauma and eventual love, contentment and peace.
