The Flower Collection
"Our earth is rapidly reacting to the effects of Climate Change. The human race must take responsibility for the future of our planet. If our wild flowers vanish from the earth then part of us vanishes too. We will be left with merely one generation?s memory of a once vibrant earth. The Natural World feeds our thoughts and nurtures our souls. We need to recognise that.
I hope you enjoy reading 'The Flower Collection' and at the same time give some thought to your personal memories of wild flowers. You may be rewarded."

As George shares his insights, we too will find our own interpretation of life and all that this means.

Enter through the door on the front cover of this book into a world many choose to ignore. The author worked closely with Bilingual Service Officers within a Second Language Program for adult new arrivals in Australia.
They told their powerful life journeys for over two years, revealing incidents which had never been revealed before simply because no-one had never asked them.
Within their recalls they are revealed as powerful bridge builders for dislocated students and as wisdom makers in our society. Within their words they rise, Phoenix like, from the ashes of their past lives.
