I’m in the waiting room of my mechanic – And there’s Jeremy Kyle on the TV. I’ve never seen Mr Kyle’s show before, What a treat! If you haven’t seen it, or live outside the UK, how can I explain? A talk show where family members, friends … people … get on and discuss a

You ever had a most amazing experience? Or even “just” a really cool one? Of course you have – (If you can’t remember one, but would LIKE to have one or more – hang on in there and I’ll explain …) Those moments when you were alive, so full of presence, so immersed in what
