Tracing the workings of Love (and its absence) in today's world. Saturday, May 21, 2011. 8220;Your weakness is your strength”. These are the words of the great choreographer Pina Bausch, as quoted in her old friend Wim Wenders’ magnificent film.

E person this film reveals to us was above all a great spiritual teacher. Ng all of...

Tracing the workings of Love (and its absence) in today's world. Friday, April 29, 2011. The Princess, the Fairytale, and the Blood Sacrifice. 29 July 1981; London was as deserted as if a neutron bomb had hit it. My wife and I (also newly married that year) cycled up to her aunt’s house in Highgate to the Royal Wedding party she had organised for her show-biz pals; we had the normally traffic-thronged streets to ourselves. So what was it the captivated so many of us about the Royal Wedding? As much: that...
