"I was taught that everything is attainable, if you’re prepared to give up, to sacrifice, to get it. Whatever you want to do, you can do it, if you want to do it badly enough. However, most humans quit too soon in life." *
- former British racing driver Stirling Moss's famous quote
“The characters seem to represent the virtues and the resilience of the ‘little’ people, a story (or stories) to which we can all relate. In essence it’s about hope and faith: a tale (and tales) of the unquenchable spirit of tenacity in battling on, no matter what are our circumstances. And then eventually finding a way, a pathway to overcome personal adversity … and to ultimately succeed in glorious triumph.”

Now let's attempt to write the story in the form of a book that "embodies (is that the right word?) achieving those lofty aims"??
“When (and where) love endures, hope inevitably follows”
- the writer
“A story (and stories) to bring hope to the human soul.”
A short, yet rewarding tale of faith, hope and (hopefully/espcially) love, together with many of my various articles on my great passion motor racing and the human mind .
Anyway. ENJOY... as I try hard to please
(We aim to please - you aim too, please)

THE PLOT:
Racing driver in a deep coma (Stirling):
Quest trying to find the unknown author (Stirling’s favourite), because the father is convinced that if he can bring the author (and the son’s shaggy Airedale dog, also called ‘Stirling’) to his comatose son’s bedside, a miracle will occur. Sets out to find the one person he believes will be able to help his son come out of his deep coma on the slopes of Devils Peak and get better.
“Faction”, but perhaps even a true story!!!!
There are various threads in the story:
* an intelligent and creative family, and a free-spirited and loving mother, a son and a daughter with vivid imaginations.
* the “driven”father (who was actively involved in WW II) was much later in life inspired by the
unknown author’s anti-war stance and inspirational and empowering writings.
* a few thoughts on the mental health profession
(“we don’t know what more we can do for you, so take a pill and disappear”??) Only joking, there are many good, caring very committed people around in that profession/area!!!
The main point is that we already have it within ourselves to get out of very sticky situations in life. All people occasionally need is support and simple encouragement.
* Essentially stories of love: father – son and son – father
son – father – mother – sister- brother
…and all of them for an unknown writer/author, “ a champion of hope“
In short, it’s a story about hope, love and PEACE (inner), plain and simple!
Written FOR MY BELOVED SONS, S and G
Watching children grow
is like threatening the ivy
to climb the garden wall.
You wait for it to happen
you hurry it along with love.
But still you’re disappointed
at giving someone life enough
to walk off on their own
and not be carried in your arms.
You never turn back – not once,
and yet one day they’ve grown apart
or taller
It’s all the same.
Polly put the kettle on, we’ll all have tea.
Giving love to children
has made us older overnight.
– Rod McKune
"Hope is the anchor of the soul."
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success; but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.”
- Vaclav Havel (Former President of Chezkoslovakia?? and playwright)
“From the depth of the valleys, in the deserts of despair, there is hope… as there is the unquenchable oasis, the immense breadth and depth of the human spirit… always.”
"When you have hope in your heart, then you'll never walk alone."
