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.

Evocative for me, of how John Lennon composed his lyrics - a worthy cherry Ed.

That great mystery, what was there before the universe, and if the universe did not have a cause, what caused it? Anyway, a lovey poem - thank you.

A fascinating read Rhiannon; and I can see I will need to come back to it a few more times; but from what I can understand so far, it is the unanawered question of the first cause, which for many is God.

Well, I'm glad you did post it Ewan; and I could discern a story - the expat in Spain maybe? And the tone reminded me a bit of Eliot - the measuring out in spoons was a great line.
