David Brazier's Friends

I am...: David Brazier, spiritual teacher, person of letters, doctor of philosophy, author, critic, priest, social worker, psychotherapist, pandramatist, poet, organisation consultant, woodsman, husband, father, traveller, gardener, founder of communities and social aid projects, educator, loves the richness of life, its joys, challenges and paradoxes - the vicissitudes of the human spirit and its expression in life, society and art.

About my artwork: My last book - Who Loves Dies Well - concerned my spirituality and the death of my mother. I've just had a chapter published in 'Never Die Alone' (JSRI, Tokyo). My next book - Love and Its Disappointment - concerns the psychology of human relationships, therapy and art:
"What is life about? Love. Does love run smoothly? No. To whom does this matter? Everybody. Simply facts with enormous implications. Rooted in common knowledge, this book advances in clear and specific terms a radical and practical theory of human functioning, exploring the relationships between beauty and love, frustration and creativity, perception and healing. Essential reading for psychotherapists, it is also full of insights for the critic of culture and society."

Interests: I like to meet artists and am interested in the philosophy and rationale of creativity, in the history of ideas, the meaning of life.

Other interests: Poetry, Photography, Drama, Spirituality in the arts.

I have added A Collection of Tanka poetry on my Typepad weblog.
