Isle of Handa, a nature reserve off the north-west coast of Scotland Picture courtesy of blog.scotlandinfo.eu Looking out of the window on a cold day
The wind blowing away the last of summer
Thoughts shut down where I lay
Dreaming the life of another
But I think my destiny lies elsewhere
Alone with the Mountains and the Sea
Being at one with the elements without care
Nature becoming at one with me
Towards the west coast I belong
With soaring mountains and wild sea’s
Mother Nature’s eternal song
Cries to my soul in the leaf’s of tree’s
My time is coming when I’ll become my own
The quest of my search ending and beginning
All that is past has been done and sown
My heart will once again be singing…
An endless knot binds our destinies
Wrapped around our souls entwined
All connected, all living entities
This endless journey in hearts and minds

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
