This Tuesday I went for my Induction day to Oxford.
We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us!"
Oxford is a beautiful little town -- very spiritual in my mind. The reason I say this is that as I was walking by those magnificent, ancient buildings and architectural sites, I could almost feel the spirit of those scientists and scholars who walked those streets many centuries ago, passed those buildings, studied in them, lived in them and most of them carried a dream inside!
I entered one of those buildings, where we had the Induction. As I was listening to every speaker speak, I also wanted to have a feel of what they really talked about: Was it a dream that had brought them here? Are we all - people who have come here today - united by a dream?
Later on we were divided into small groups in accordance with our programs of study. There were 13 of us and as we introduced ourselves and talked about our main interests I could see and feel in the eyes of every one of us that twinkle, the twinkle of a dream! But the question is: Are we going to be able to persevere with a dream at Oxford? I do not know. As Paul McCartney said in his song:
"When will it be right? I don't know
What will it be like? I don't know
