BioPoliphilo is in love with Polia. They have been playing hide and seek for a long time now.
I'm in my late 50s, married to Ailz, with 3 grown-up kids from an earlier marriage. I've been an Anglican priest, a Pagan and a Wiccan High Priest and now I'm nothing in particular. Being nothing in particular is also a vocation.
I write about the arts, sprituality, TV, politics, everyday life- and post a lot of pictures- mostly my own photos. If you like what I do- and would like to "put a penny in the old man's hat"- there's a Paypal button below.

PURCHAS
Purchas is a medieval teenager who, entirely by accident, gets to drink the elixir of immortality.
I've been posting her adventures, in installments over at![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
purchas
There are now four completed books.
Purchas: The Crown and the Thorn Bush, set in the 1480s.
Purchas: The Wild Hunt, set in 1529.
Purchas: Tragical-comical-historical-pastoral, set in 1607.
Purchas: The Embarkation For Cythera, set in 1670.
************
I like to talk. Befriend me and (unless you're a nazi) I'll befriend you back.
************
WELL, MY ANCESTORS WERE QUAKERS
There is a kind of poetic writing
The young do best. It’s to do with colours,
Textures and scent, and our English masters
Are Hopkins and Keats- but neither man
Would have written that way had they lived to be forty.
The older I get the more I find
I admire a Protestant aesthetic
Of plain white walls with nothing but hatchments
To break the drift. Plain thoughts, plain words
And none of your artful fol-de-rols
To please the girls. Lets keep it as clean
As a sword blade crossing an open Bible.
