In this chapter titled "As Perry Saw It" paints a vivid portrait not just of a boy recovering from illness, but of a town quietly changed by his presence. Through Perry Larson's eyes, the reader is drawn into a world where even the hardest hearts begin to soften. Jack Gurnsey’s regular visits are only part of the story. The deeper transformation lies in how David’s spirit lingers in conversations, gardens, and memories across the village. Mrs. Somers, once isolated and bitter, now cares for her roses…-

Puzzles often reveal more than they first appear to. For David, they weren’t just about matching strange shapes to create an image. Instead, they mirrored the quiet riddles in his life—like why kindness seemed to surround him so freely, and why Mr. Jack and Miss Holbrook never arrived together. He noticed this pattern early during his recovery, when visits to his sickroom became part of his healing. On one such afternoon, while happily talking about Jill and Joe, he sensed a sudden change in Mr.…

The Beautiful World reflects how joy, healing, and revelation unfold not in grand spectacles but through the gentle rhythm of everyday life, illuminated by the presence of someone with a heart open to wonder. David’s music, deeply tied to his view of the world, becomes more than entertainment—it becomes a language of the soul.

Preface serves as a welcoming point of entry into the complex yet accessible philosophy of Henri Bergson. The original inspiration for the work came from two essays published in early 1912, and this expanded edition adds more continuity and depth to clarify points that may challenge first-time readers. The writer does not intend to critique Bergson’s thought academically, as the philosopher’s ideas continue to develop. Instead, the goal is to make Bergson’s vision understandable for a broader…-

Chapter I begins by positioning philosophical intuition not in opposition to science, but as its extension—one that builds on scientific understanding to reach deeper truths. Rather than reject scientific inquiry, Henri Bergson insists that true philosophy depends on it while going beyond its limits. Science gives us clarity and structure, but it cannot fully express the flow of life. Where science categorizes and defines, philosophy—through intuition—touches the essence that lies beneath. This…

Chapter II develops Henri Bergson’s view of life as a forward-moving force shaped not by mechanical causality but by inner momentum toward novelty and transformation. Progress, in this sense, is not driven by repetition or the weight of the past but by the draw of the future—what has not yet been realized but continually emerges. This movement is not random; it follows a rhythm of creative experimentation and accumulation of past experiences, always pressing toward complexity and consciousness. Such a…

Chapter I opens with a reflection on how Henri Bergson's thought marks a turning point in modern philosophy, particularly in how we approach consciousness, reality, and the sacred. His work introduces a way of thinking that does not begin with definitions or logical premises but with life itself—moving, changing, and creating. Bergson places intuition and imagination at the center of philosophical inquiry, offering an alternative to the sterile detachment often found in rigid rationalism. Though he does…

Chapter II presents a fundamental shift in how philosophy might approach life—not as something to be dissected from a distance, but as something to be encountered directly through lived time. Henri Bergson proposes that the essence of existence can only be grasped by immersing oneself in the continuity of experience, what he calls duration. Unlike fixed ideas or systems, duration unfolds, reflecting the natural flow of consciousness and life itself. Bergson sees this not just as a metaphysical insight,…

Chapter III begins by investigating how perception evolves from raw experience into structured thought, revealing a spectrum that moves from the immediacy of sensation to constructed concepts. Henri Bergson does not view experience as static or neatly divided; instead, he explains that what we often call facts are not final, but moments within a continuum. Each moment serves both as a foundation for what follows and as a result of what preceded. This flow creates a layered understanding of reality, where…
