A collection of thoughts,
stories and reflections
Here you’ll find Cliff’s articles, personal reflections and occasional updates — written with the same optimism, curiosity and sense of purpose that runs through his books and community work.
Some pieces look back on moments from a full and varied life. Others explore the challenges and opportunities of living with sight loss, growing older, staying active, helping others, and continuing to find meaning in everyday experiences.
Whether reflective, practical or gently humorous, Cliff’s writing is rooted in a simple belief: that life still has much to offer, and that each of us can keep contributing in our own way.
