After receiving conflicting and confusing reactions from people who do not know me I feel it is now important that before reading this book I would invite everyone to place a close attention to the initial introduction which In great details presents the sol purpose for my revealing autobiography. I feel it took an unprecedented honestly which only time and wisdom has granted me. The inner courage transformed to generosity through faith gave me the strength to share my most profound fears revealing my strength in love which I for one believed was a privileged gift, but today I celebrated with hymns of joy. I feel blessed to have few but true friends, one in particular wrote me this short extract a few days ago. The light and the shadow are but one, they shear one dueling place.There is not one visible or one invisible light, they both dance the eternal circle of life
Introduction
I wake up every morning basking in the glorious radiant rays of the Caribbean sun. I find myself trapped in a matrix of contradiction. Finding that
those rays of sunshine are in fact the reflections of the lights embedded in my memories that have now confined me to this island. Ageing is not the most fascinating part of life's journey, so as I eat my breakfast admiring the precocious humidity of the air, I reflect on some of my most memorable passages.
Please allow me a little artistic license in my old age as I write these three acts that articulate my glorious life. I am not sure where it will end, but it is something I need to clear up in my mind before it all fades and I will be called to account for everything that happened behind me, for better or for worse.
Sometimes I am so excited but at the same time so struck with awe that my excitement will be lost in suggestion.
I feel that this is the time to explain a little of my cultural and social background.
I have just passed sixty and have been an actor and a social consultant for more than forty years. Among my many tasks, for twenty of those years I've counseled small groups of young adults and guided them through incredible breakthroughs in societal and personal experiences; some might call it "awakening" or "renewal of life". I have seen young adults grow from immature children to mature and courageous adults. Many have achieved greater achievements in those years and some have become truly extraordinary people. I hear
of having literally served as a shepherd to the good, the bad and the ugly! I have seen things in our society that would make others stunned with miraculous amazement, and even tremble in utter disbelief at some of the unsocial or uncivilized behaviors.
In thirty years of training for personal development, I have seen a lot, and it has always amazed me that I have been blessed with this gift of being able to work in the best and worst of situations. They say that bright lights attract strange insects, certainly that has been an understatement. I have found that the foundation of my qualities is to love those you are nurturing as you protect and care for them. This is much easier said than done. Anyone who takes on this task without having adequate training is destined for a rude awakening.
To advise, to educate, is far beyond just a job, it is a vocation. In other words it is not a title of what you do, but it is a demonstration of who you are.
Many who know me will remember one of my phrases that I repeated most often: “It is not important what you do, but how you do it”.
Life has taught me to practice what you preach. As a zealous young educator, my belief was that it was easier to control people than to love them, that's so true. Of course no one would ever want to do such a thing, but it happens. It is much easier to focus on the results of personal pride rather than on love and service. As will be explained in my story, this can become a suicide mission and required a lot of sacrifice. Educating others can only be done with the true spirit and passionate truth of a person who works from within, if it is to have a qualifying value. Too many people have it as a means of income and position, results or sustenance, forgetting that we are in it for results and not for profit.
This premise about me was necessary to introduce you to my book. A book that illustrates the pains of a parallel life, in which I suffered from agonizing conflicts with my own personality
and the angst that followed.
My mistakes, my successes, my emotions and above all my faith in friendship. They all formed the basis for this self-revealing insight into an evolving life.
This book of mine therefore brings to life the events that have shaped and even transfigured my faith, my friendships, my family and social life.
However, a constant theme dominates the balance of this book: the spontaneous search for my emotions.
You will find scandalous tales of my past life. Events that I never had the courage to tell. “The River of Life” illustrates the inner processes by which I have faced the many losses and griefs.
I believe that while we live we sail peacefully along the river of life. As we do, we may encounter difficulties at times, but we usually overcome them early and return to calmer waters.
The many losses I have suffered since my childhood, the changes in lifestyle and cultures. The traumatic physical and mental challenges have all nudged me to rush over the the placid river and enter the steep waterfall towards the vortex below. As I've descended this, my own emotional waterfall, I've succumbed to the shocks, pains and numbness. I keep saying to myself that things like this just couldn't happen to me. Nothing felt real or made sense.
That was until my vortex hit bottom and dissipated. There were times when I felt totally disoriented and found myself thrown against painful rocks. But through my story you will discover how I have found myself in strange and new situations. Moments when I believed there was no boat, oar or lifeline to save me. Periods of severe depression. "Will I ever be able to sail again?" I would say to myself.
Here we are. This is how my rebirth began.
Waldo Bernasconi contributed to my freedom.
But the first sketches on my canvas belong to others. I owe what I are today to those wonderful predecessors of mine. To my tutors at my E15 acting school, like Roger, Jo Jelly, Janet Neilson and Gundas - with his red Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Without forgetting Kate Williams and Mick Morris.
