My name is Kim. I live in Belfast in Northern Ireland. I am 62 years of age. I am a semi retired civil servant working in admin. In my spare time I enjoy spending my time with my friends walking and going for coffee. My Christian faith is very important to me and I would describe myself as very contemplative. I belong to a church group in person and also a contemplative group online. My hobbies are taking photos, writing poems, reading and a bit of gardening. I am a vegetarian and enjoy cooking vegetarian meals. I am a great animal lover and at present my family consists of my 15 year old tabby cat April and my 15 year old Shih Tzu dog Ben. At present I am doing two online courses. One on nature writing and the other on poetry. I am new to writing poems and have only started a few months back. I am enjoying being part of this community and the people are very friendly and supportive. Written on 8th May 2024. Kim

Their beautiful gowns fit for a...

An iota of joy of this fresh spring morning

St. Anne's Park, Dublin - Short Story

I was in St. Anne's Park in Dublin where I was on a silent retreat. It was early morning and I was on my own. I could hear the birds singing in the trees. Their songs flutey, sometimes chirpy and sometimes melancholy. I saw the little squirrels...

very much appreciated. For me, nature is a gift from God. We are all part of nature and go through the same cycles of life as the plants and animals. Dying and rebirthing. Thank you so much for your comments. God Bless, Kim
