The Tantric Mantis

If all we have is life, and this life is all we have,

Then how foolish of me to look for love,

When love looks not for me.

The Boy: Mark Harris was born in England, but grew up in Australia and Papua New Guinea till the age of thirteen. His was a blissfully happy childhood spent daydreaming, chasing rare and endangered wildlife, which he kept in his bedroom, and drawing pictures of rabbits in the bottom left corner of large sheets of paper. His parents very sensibly kept their distance from this strange and wayward boy, entrusting his education to a pack of dingoes and the Australian school system, where he learned to play rugby, count to ten and hurl a tennis ball the length of a football field. A great fondness for sports and outdoor adventure was matched by an equally enthusiastic propensity for catching near-fatal diseases, which has since become a lifelong hobby. His subsequent adventures have taken him into the realms of art, languages and history in the fond hope that one day something will come of it all.
