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.

This poem is beautifully crafted, with a timeless message that reached me in a special way, as I'm now in the stage of life where pain also becomes a companion, but fortunately I can still have my walks. Please keep writing Jenny as your art is...

Thanks Paul Our understanding of time seems so limited; we swim in it as do the fish in water but without any proper understanding of how it works.
And thanks to the editors for the Cherries - gratefully received.
