About

I wrote The Flickering Flame in 2000 when I was involved with Friends of Tibet. It struck me that despite great repression Tibetans had held onto their culture, but that, like a flickering flame, the link was tenuous and could extinguish at any time. Perhaps in the uncertain times of today the same concept could apply more broadly.
