In 1978 I was an ex-hippy art student studying for a Diploma in Graphic Design at Croydon College of Art. I also began writing poetry, influenced strongly by Keats, Coleridge and Blake.
In 1988 I was an ex-art student living with a friend in Purley and travelling around France and Italy. At this time I began to have serious doubts about Buddhism and the FWBO’s rendering of it, and lived on an increasingly wide (and lonely) orbit.
In 1998 I was living in Bristol trying to make a living as a Designer and mostly failing. Also trying to find my way back to the Buddhism I had left behind. Set up Wolf at the Door and travelled extensively with Manjusvara leading writing Workshops.
In 2008 I was still living in Bristol in a house with other Buddhists and taking myself more seriously as a Buddhist and Poet.
In 2018 – more of the above!
