Five things that shaped M.P.
Song: I'm Your Man, Leonard Cohen & The Sensitive Kind, John Mayall
Book: The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov
Film: Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise), Marcel Carné
Trip: I went to Greece in 1993 to attend "The First International Celebration of Partnership" on the island of Crete. 500 people attend internationally and the conference looked at how we can learn from the Minoan society which lived for 1000 years in peace. It had a profound impact on me and gave me a greater understanding of how societies that believed in the Godess were more peaceful in nature, compared to Zeus-like warrior god cutures.
Advice: My Dad always repeated his favourite quote, "do unto others what you would have them do unto you." I guess if we all lived that way, there would be more harmony in the world and we might rescue our planet.
