After a major upheaval in life, I put a rucksack on my back and walked 615 km to Santiago de Compostella looking for an answer to the big question, "What next?". Now I am at University reading Theology, Philosophy and Ethics. I live in student accommodation and have a part-time job at the local Cathedral. I couldn't be happier and truly feel like (at the ripe old age of sixty) I'm just getting started.
Join me on my journey and maybe you can teach me a thing or two about life, too.

Hello listeners,
Today I have a little reflection and a few thoughts on Freewill. It's all my own work but is based on the bibliography below, with especial reference to Chapter 8 of Roger Scruton's book Philosophy: Principles and Problems.
I also want to feature the amazing book Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. I'm only 113 pages in as I write but boy it is a game changer and I focus on his discourse thus far on identity. What does it mean to be an individual when we are ecosystems hosting tens of trillions of microbes.
Well, more ramblings and thinking out loud from the Sixty Year Old Student.
I hope you enjoy it and maybe find something for you in this session.
Until next time..."I'm just getting started".
