I’m now retired and living with my wife and Springer Spaniel in a village outside Cambridge U.K. I have dual U.K. and Australian citizenship, having lived in the latter and also travelled in Asia, in-between living in London for two years. I came back to the U.K. in 1993 as a Buddhist monk and was later involved in interfaith between Buddhist and Christian monasticism, which led to my returning to lay life. I now identify as a Christian – albeit with Buddhist influences!
My interests lie in writing – prose and poetry, informed by my experience of life plus religion, history, and current affairs. I also enjoy cooking, walking (with wife and dog), and the joys of friendship. I have previously posted on UKAuthors. My verse tends toward rhyming, but as a beginner I’m always willing to improve my craft.
I liked this Rhiannonw.

I liked this Rhiannonw. Though brief (and no bad thing) it conveys the gfeeling of being in the picture.

The Allowing is the key

A deep poem, that requires several readings. And for me the key is in the title - to allow the letting go; a bit like relaxing ones self, not always easy to do. Dougie

A harrowing story
Posted on Tue, 07 Dec 2021
I read this and was a bit puzzled, then realised it was part two, so I read part one. What impressed me was how you brought to life (life? No irony intended), the story of this young woman and her companions. The second part brings it to its...

This made my day!

It has cheered me up no end; and they did say before - cheer up things could be worse; so I cheered up and blow me down - they just got worse! But this will fight off the covid blues - well done!
BTW; Marmite vs Vegemite? No contest! As...

Superlative nature poem
Posted on Wed, 08 Dec 2021
I enjoy reading this and receive something new each time: I especially liked the last line. With some trepidition may I also query the second line, where you use 'an' instead od 'and'; I wasn't sure if this was deliberate ot a typo?
