Superficially, but determinedly, in this book, 'I Was Born To Learn To Love To Run: And I Ran And Ran', I have described the vulnerability of myself as a child reaching back into my early life, attempting to come to terms with the reality of my possible cloaked-guidance and dependence upon the immediate family circle, the extended family and the cohesive mores, social, cultural and moral value designed to cast a comfortable and reassuring shield and network to encourage and develop me, not only from the fragility and vulnerability, but from infancy into the responsive, caring and strong maturing person. The growth in the plot was aligned with the general theme of 'born to learn to love to run'. It compared the inadequate speed of us human with the developed nervous survival skills in the opened theater of all nature's predatory-pray dynamics. I as the child, learned to run and accept it as an essential component of the routine in life; it was the poetry which first hatched the theme, which time and experience patiently sculptured. Running to me was part of almost everything: including learning, courage, fear, play, curiosity, science, family wants and needs. Running involved skills to be harnessed, relished, defended, applied and acts of appeasement and rewards. It brought joy and disappointment; it questioned honesty, unveiled scheming; revealed an art while building the physical. My running was a communion with nature which not only raised a philosophical debate but enjoined the universal connection. You will feel, embrace, reflect upon running beyond the theme, plots, scenes, poetry and prose, joy and disappointment as a valuable tool to meander, examine and judge me and life in progress and its processes.The book, 'I Was Born To Learn To Love To Run: And I Ran And Ran', will give you the opportunity to journey with me in the part of the rustic environment on the coastal land of Demerara, in Guyana, prior to the turn of the century when its natural scenery seem untouched and unspoiled very little by human and colonial contentment to restrict the spoiling of the land except in the ways they preferred. But the vivid story-line in the book about my childhood and growing up afterwards will give you the opportunity to wonder, ponder and reflect with me upon mine and your own experiences, to dream and judge our own strengths, vulnerabilities and weaknesses, in the charming yet convulsive world and even further to gather your thoughts from deep within you to reveal something of your own that lay in dormancy, or was ignored, or forgotten, or you might find something new to put your mind at ease within the world in which our flesh blood and soul have occupied.May your attentive reading of my book 'I Was Born To Learn To Love To Run: And I Ran And Ran', help you to not only address the characters good intent, determination and resolutions; recreate the mental and oral picture and timeline of the setting; find and examine the plots; take objective and critical stance regarding the conflicts presented, applied, and implied; but find, certify, improve, or decertify the resolution with if you thinks a more sanguine and flattering resolution and action shall be necessary in appreciation of the seriousness or fun of any critical, relaxing reading.
