“The longer I live…
the more I read, the more patiently I think and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know…

Links connect to a number of illustrated academic talks given reflecting three decades of travel pondering the nature and evolution of world religion. Celebrating a global family, many offered unique and heartfelt hospitality – often shared in homes over meals. Focusing primarily on the Near and Far East, these illustrated presentations reflect journeys from sabbaticals in 2000 and 2015.

“Growing up in a little red house on the edge of a forest in Norway my family encouraged three things: Kindness, Honesty, and Hard Work. Over the years I have come to add a fourth: BE CURIOUS.
Look at the World around us. Be curious – and GO!
Go with an open heart – and you will find inspiration anew”.
