I have uploaded a new poem that I wrote at a recent Quiet Day with the Chemin Neuf Community based in Storrington, West Sussex, UK, as part of a workshop exercise. The poem is called “Psalm” and has been placed under the Pastoral Poems section of the website. I will post a link separately.
Talking of the Pastoral Poems section, I intend to identify each poem that is not individually identified by itself, but which are rather lumped together in one space, with their own specific spaces in the section. This will give these poems greater visibility, it is hoped. I will let you know when this is about to take place. Thank you.
As the letters after my surname would suggest, I am a member of a religious order; Third Order, Society of St. Francis. I served a second term of office on the Provincial Chapter of the Order, as Provincial Secretary and Trustee for three years and have since stood down. I have been a Tertiary Franciscan since my profession in 1996. As well as writing poetry, I enjoy the theatre, and have been a member of a local theatre company. I enjoy cricket too, and am a Life Member of Sussex County Cricket Club.
I hope you will enjoy browsing over this site, and that you will find something to help you on your spiritual journey.
