    Tales for the Free Mind and Open Heart

    About this ebook

    Three stories, three insights into different worlds, into the minds and hearts of those some of us find 'different'.

    Three perspectives on sexuality and religion for those who do not wish to conform, but wish to explore and embrace.

    Three tales of love in three different ways: the love of knowledge, the love that, at least here, dare not speak its name, the love that knows no numbers and no boundaries.

    Three glimpses at what's wrong, and what could be right: a cry against the misuse of religion, distorted by society and bigotry into discrimination, instead of being free to be what, well, the author thinks, it should really mean: the path towards acceptance and unconditional love.

      AUTHOR’S PREFACE

      Dear Reader,

      These are but short stories, very short indeed, yet intense, as I believe such tales should be, spin-offs if you wish, though I would prefer to call them side-stories, of the novel The Road to London. Whilst the novel does not deal directly with religion, but rather spirituality, these tales look at ‘minor’ characters or events in the story form a religious perspective. Although it is not for me to influence your reading, they were not, by any means, intended to be anti-religious. What I felt I had to explore, and possibly fight against, is the misuse of religion, which, in my humble opinion, should serve to liberate the mind, free the soul and
