Descry the youth parked on the mantel shelf
alone calmly awaiting the elder self
a smile an embrace a knowing manner
closed conversations awash with candour.
Closed Conversations is the timeless exchange between an elder and his eight-year-old self. A warm and deeply personal discourse of the journey ahead, what lies within and the Contract of Life ignored, until now.

John Paul was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1954. After spending his formative years in the south east suburbs, he pursued a non-descript life with his wife, son and daughter. He is still domiciled in the south east suburbs but somewhat closer to the nearby hills where much time is spent. Having completed his tour de profession, he blissfully retired to a hermetic existence, resuming his passion for philosophy, science, music and writing. An author in his early twenties, he has published numerous peer reviewed journal papers and books.
