Thanks to a tumour I started writing to cope with pain and found that whenever I wrote, the pain disappeared. I kept writing and keep writing. Now I try to balance looking out and looking in. This blog is my record.
I also write in prose:

and try my hand at drawing and zoology:

Being Every Day 
Amazing how a threat to our equilibrium promotes the birth of creative processes. Breast cancer sparked me – and the inspiration grew from there. Love your work.
Yes indeed, utterly agree and would say that, for me creativity is the way I re-established and keep re-establishing equilibrium. I have just read some of your wonderful poems, and I will follow you with relish!
Thank you so much. Nice that we have connected!
