I am a former postal clerk who in the leisure of my retirement years have done what I've always planned to do; with the help of my Muse and the versatility of my word processor, I have written and self-published 3 books. Not surprisingly, I not only write, but I read! There's no substitute for a good book, and while I do watch TV and movies, the printed word still commands most of my attention. I'm also into ZEN a little, taking from it what Iam able relate to. Its focus on spaces and pauses resonates with me, as there is much to be learned from what is "not said".
