There have been secret museums and collections. There have been secret galleries and secret knowledge. Mysteries have been guarded. Place have been forbidden. History has not only been edited, but also didactid. Mystery schools have been closed even to elites. There are still school for ruling elites.
I'll repeat an open secret here. For each learning you accomplish new secrets are opened to you.
When I am awake and my eyes are open, a vision is available to me that allows me to see good little doors. I can see a door that I can open and look through. Through those doors I see new perspectives, new worlds. It is possible to pass through such doors.
Learning renews.
"As I See It Today" could be the title of this new iteration of my main blog. The "It" would then be the following themes with which I intend to deal here: ~ history ~ politics, economics, government ~ family tree ~ people, places, ~ culture, society ~ dialogue and a bit of me

"Silks"
I've begun listening to an unabridged audio novel. I am finding it a pleasure; a surprisingly great pleasure. It is well written by Dick Francis and Felix Francis and very nicely read by Martin Jarvis. I has been titled Silks and might be described as a suspense, mystery, thriller.
So far, it has been a personal view of English law and a wonderful view of a kind of horse racing I wish there were more of in the United States. The story is delivered in an intelligent, flow of transparent English of good character. Feelings are strong rather than raw and clothed in decent taste rather than naked.
The facts of silks and gowns are manly.
Mason, our protagonist, is a barrister at criminal law and an amateur jockey,and,perhaps, a bit of a detective. This story, of over ten hours, looks to be a matter of life or death, related more to courtroom action than to action on the track. But it is a mystery and I expect steeplechase action.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm well into the story now. It may not be quite as good as I had hoped, but I am enjoying it a lot. Its a bit of a novel of manners and attention taking mystery.
