 BPP: Identity: Who you are? And who you really are?

Cliff Warner: I am a 51 year old male living in the UK who is both a freelance artist & a contracts manager.

On an introspective level I would identify myself like all of us, - as spiritual beings having a human experience. My true identify involves the empathy of sharing common emotions & experiences with others. Through this I would say a purpose in life arises in achieving connected awareness with everyone & everything.

BPP: If you could say something important you've learned all these years of your life, to the other people and they were able to listen to you, what would you like to tell them?

Cliff Warner: Nothing lasts for ever except I am sure love; the kind of love I would intuitively say has no opposite.  A strong example of this for me was losing 3 artist friends who died. Our years of continued friendship & camaraderie came to a sudden end in this world, yet the love of the friendship & their art continues.

BPP: What is your real dream, the one that keeps you awake at nights and if one day it will come true, you will feel your heart calm and peacefull?


Cliff Warner:To know life is never wasted, & to live it with joy in the present moment.

BPP: How is life for the people in your country today? What do you wish to happen to them at to the people of this planet at large?

Cliff Warner: A sense of fear, apathy & uncertainty exists with many in my country & the planet at large. I would hope for supporting of each other in the small things, to bring us closer as we come through; & survive these difficult times.

BPP: Which exactly was the moment you understood what you want to do in your life? How did you feel att his very moment?


Cliff Warner: After encouraging words from an art teacher one afternoon at school, that I should study painting. I’ve been studying ever since with continued passion.

BPP: Something yours: Do you want to tell us something we didn't ask you until now? 

Cliff Warner: I would just like to finish with one of my favourite quotes.
"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end."


- Ursula K. Le Guin.
