Earth from space

We are all in this together...

"Finally the deepest common thing in us is that we live on the same small planet. We breathe the same air. We all care about the future of our children and we are all mortal beings." - John F Kennedy

..and yet both at the macro level and the micro - internationally and personally - we waste the time God has given us here on Planet Earth with warfare, hatred, personal animosity and greed.

God is Merciful and Compassionate. We are tasked to honor Him, submit to His Will and be in our turn merciful and compassionate to our fellow men and women.

And to be true to ourselves and know ourselves, and forgive ourselves for our wrongdoing so we may know to forgive others. "Judge not, that ye be not judged." (Matthew 7.1). And forgiveness is based upon good works, as it says, "Good deeds annul evil deeds." (Qur'an, 11:114).

In such a way we may find God's Peace and live with each other as brothers

We need to unite to combat the greatest threat that we have yet faced, that of the destruction of our world by Climate Change. This challenge is greater than any other, for if there is no world on which to live, all other challenges are meaningless.

We can all do our part as each small saving of unnecessary carbon will make a small but important contribution to saving our planet as we know it, for our children and their children after them.

There is no Planet B!

Patrick's latest book

Coming soon, Patrick's very personal view of rape.

Front Cover of My Rape and Others

In 1963, aged 17, the author was gang raped at knifepoint by three of his peers. This trauma completely changed the course of his life and has left a lasting legacy in both physical and mental scars but these fall outside the scope of this book. Interested readers can read the author's memoir. Two relevant chapters from that are reproduced in this book.

So many decades later, perhaps as a catharsis to lay the ghosts of that October evening, he has tried to examine rape more dispassionately (if that is possible) and write not just about his own experience as a male rape victim but of the female victim also.

This is not intended as an academic work but a personal view of rape. Areas covered include the lasting effects, who the victims are, why it happens, rape as a weapon, victim gender, how and why organisations cover up rape reports, and the road to recovery for victims.

Not suitable for under 18s or the faint-hearted.
