What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare....
Leisure - a poem by Welsh poet W. H. Davies
What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. |
Bryn Jones, N.D. Psychotherapist, Naturopath. Author was born in Caernarfon, North Wales, on the 6th of May, 1938, just before the Second World War. In his book "No Worries: Towards effective worrying and living with glow" he explores some of the effects of his traumatic experiences in a war-time TB Sanatorium and shares some of his lifelong search for ways and means of transforming tendencies to worry into paths leading towards developing glow into one's life. Some know Bryn from his work during the 1960s when he was a young design engineer and manager, when he was involved in developing ice cream factories (yes, really!), designing 'Gwynedd 69', the culture and trade exhibition in Caernarfon in 1969 to celebrate Prince Charles' Investiture as Prince of Wales, and was a co-founder of The Works, an alternative centre for the creative and healing arts in Fulham Cross, London, with the artist Joanna Jones. They are the parents of Edda Jones. Yet others know Bryn after he became a naturopath and psychotherapist, studied Jungian analysis at the CG Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland and opened a private practice in Frankfurt am Main, Germany where he worked from 1981 to 2006 when he retired from his practice there. Bryn was brought up in a socially engaged family and he himself continued in 1995 by establishing, together with Jana Marinova, a small charity in Germany called 'Bulgarian Aid Project' which was the only charitable organisation working with adults in the Bulgarian Mental Health field until 2007 when Bulgarian joined the EU, at which point it was converted into a Bulgarian Charitable Foundation which worked with foreign prisoners until wide-spread corruption forced us to close down the programme and eventually the charity. Between 2007 and 2017 when his wife Jana Marinova died, he divided his time between Wales, Europe and further points East. Nowadays he is based in Mid-Wales, UK |
