A Note from the author

Writing this memoir was a pilgrimage back to moments Philip had forgotten—or perhaps chosen to ignore. Each chapter penned was a step towards understanding, not just of himself, but of the nature of memory and survival. He wrote this book not only to free himself from the echoes of the past but also to light a path for others who may find themselves lost in similar shadows. The process of writing "Riding The Elephant" was both cathartic and challenging. It involved revisiting old wounds, deciphering long-buried memories, and learning to see them through the lens of compassion and wisdom. This memoir went from being a private journal to a public testament of the power of facing one's demons.
