My Symbiont and Me

Born in 1950, in the quaint village of Alfristion in East Sussex, England, United Kingdom, nestled between hills in the Cuckmere valley, the author had a magical childhood roaming the hills, meadows, river banks and wooded landscapes with his two brothers and friends. He has always been very spiritual in nature and in 1972, due to circumstances beyond his control, he was left in both physical and mental pain, which was only to be aggravated and amplified later, following the breakup of his marriage in 1988. Since then, he has lived an extremely solitary life, and for 30 years has devoted himself to the pursuit and search for the truth of the one true reality and the peace within - ending his personal sufferances and beyond. He has, for the last two years, been in retreat, in isolation, not leaving his home, where eleven months ago poetry started to stream from his mind, flowing like the beautiful clear waters of an underground mountain spring, bursting forth into the radiant light of the dawning sun.
