In this homepage we’ll attempt to set the tone for this ‘remedy’ website which will present a few offerings for your enjoyment. A different path of ‘treatment’ – words and images. We are not authorities in any sense other than having had some experience and limited success in the challenges of existence. We are two humble Questers who wonder at the mysteries of Being, Consciousness and Joy – who marvel at the beauty of the natural world, and at the productions of the human mind – the art and the printed word and the introspective, meditative pathways and oases of the creative heart. Accompany us in our quest for truth - the search for words and images that will enhance human energy and completion.

 In a way, this ‘remedy’ project commenced several years ago, while we two were strolling a quiet beach in the Caribbean. Having recently retired from our banking and nursing careers, we were turning our minds to other pursuits, and wondering about the purpose of our lives and studying others’ findings about life’s meaning. Our quest is similar to that frequently noted – of a couple engaged in ‘re-finding’ themselves – and each other – after the hiatus of conventional work and family responsibilities.

Quite early on in our quest for truth, we became aware that certain findings tended to center and enlighten us, as opposed to other pursuits that in a sense left us feeling depleted. Focusing more on the former, we commenced recording such findings that made us feel stronger and more connected with the vital force of our world. Through formally recording our key findings we crystallized deeper understandings which further sustained and strengthened us in coping with ongoing challenges. In time, some of this material was converted into electronic format, and later was ‘paged’ in the website, in the “Gleanings” section with its Questers’ Journals.

“From the Writings of - -” supplements this concept with the expanded works of cherished authors; and the

“Book Reviews” corner shares our understanding of key aspects of some text material perused.

Concurrently with our joint quest, Marnie proceeded to honor a long-held deep yearning for engagement in creative art, and to devote the necessary effort through courses, studies and practice to advance her artistic gift. In time she discovered that not only had she enhanced the beauty of our old home in Central Ontario, she had discovered a way to stimulate the æsthetic sense of others.

“Our Images” – is a sample from Marnie’s creative impressions.

“Our Stories” – is a collection of our personal stories ‘from the road’, and at home.

“Our World and Times” – reflects perspectives on critical events impacting our global village;

“Allegories” – is a selection of insights from East and West;

“The Sublime” – is a tribute to humanity’s perennial quest for our source of creative truth and meaning; and

“The Journal” – an occasional notation of items of personal interest

Our family is now all out in the big world pursuing their own ends, and we share our old lakeside retirement home with Remedy. She is a tiger-striped feline bundle of affection and comfort who, in her purring, radiates her ‘remedial’ love to us – hence (in part) the naming of our website. And latterly Lady, a loving black and tan hound, has consented to share her presence with us.

In this world of interesting challenge it is our fondest hope that the presented ideas and images will entertain you and enhance your own search along paths of personal insight, inspiration and discovery. Thank you for visiting, and please do call again.
