How I live a Pagan life in a Christian culture

By Liz Grimes
Special to the News & Record

My personal life is firmly rooted in my pagan beliefs. I try hard to live as gently on this earth as possible, to respect Mother Nature and be grateful for all that she provides to us. I know that whatever actions and thoughts I put forth in this world will come back to me. This is my driving force for all relationships. I work hard to be close to, recognize, love and honor the divine in everyone around me. This is the foundation for my life.

THE MAN WITH THE 7 SECOND MEMORY

“Clive Wearing has one of the worst cases of amnesia in the world. Once a renowned conductor and musician, Clive was struck down in 1985 byEncephalitis, which caused massive damage to his brain.

Doctors battled to save his life but he was left with a memory that spans just seven seconds. “It’s like being dead . . . one long night with no thoughts, no dreams. There’s no difference between day and night, I haven’t been conscious in 20 years.”

The only person Clive recognizes is his wife, Deborah, who had been married to him just 18 months when he became ill. The illness has meant they have had to spend the last 20 years of their marriage living apart.

The Man with the 7 Second Memory tells the touching story of Clive and Deborah’s lives and how their marriage has survived against the odds. The moving film visits Clive, now 67, in the brain injury unit where he lives under constant supervision. He tells producer, Jane Treays, that she and the camera crew are the first people he has seen in 20 years.

The Man with the 7 Second Memory is produced and directed by award winning British filmmaker Jane Treays.”
