<FONT FACE="Arial"><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Hello, and welcome to this, my home page. </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">A lot of you may be thinking, "what has an uncarved block got to do with anything…?". Absolutely nothing, and that’s the beauty of it all. The idea of the uncarved block comes from Taoism (where it is described as wood within the forests). Typical "Kung Fu" stuff, but it means a way of living that is free of complications. As we go through our lives, we come across little problems and quite a lot of us blow them out of all proportion. Not my style, I'm afraid. </P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Being an uncarved block means that you face up to adversity with a smile. Don’t ignore the problem because other people will add to it. Just face it with the idea that you’ve had worse… or, if you haven’t, other people certainly have. Every cloud has a silver lining, and tomorrow is another day.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">This doesn’t mean I'm a complete pacifist but it does mean I avoid a lot of trouble in life, simply because I have no marks on me. </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Just like an uncarved block.</P>
