Still alive and 78 is nothing that I could have imagined as being the way it is; born in the 2nd world war years and living my youth in Brixton London, a great place to live but I always felt a failure, especially academically, couldn’t spell, my writing was atrocious, I felt left behind by my friends as they went to their promising futures, this was more and more evident as we moved in to our teens. A life of non-choice followed regarding work; any occupation requiring form filling or a letter (no computers) was out of reach. My first sense of success came at the age of around 34 a deeply traumatic relationship event changed my life and a stream of poetry came forth automatically no matter what subject I pondered in the context of relationship produced a poem mostly in one draft. The second revolution came this year with the experience, I can do anything, this is not thought more a revelation. So singing, painting, piano, wood craft, fearlessly undertaken and teaching children with real empathy and care.

78歲仍然活著，沒有任何事情是我想像的那樣。出生在第二次世界大戰時期，在倫敦布里克斯頓（Brixton London）生活，但是我總是覺得失敗，特別是在學術上，不能拼寫，我的寫作很殘酷，我覺得我的朋友留下對他們有希望的未來而言，當我們進入我們的青少年時，這一點變得越來越明顯。 在工作之後有一個非選擇的生活;任何需要填寫表格或信件（無電腦）的職業都是遙不可及的。 我的第一個成功感發生在34歲左右，一場深刻的創傷性關係事件改變了我的生活，無論我在關係的背景下思考的主題是什麼，都會自動產生一股詩歌，主要是在一個稿子中產生了一首詩。 今年第二次革命帶來的經驗，我可以做任何事情，這不是更多的啟示。所以，歌唱，繪畫，鋼琴，木工，無所畏懼地教導孩子們，真正的同情和關懷。
