yes, writing is a great love for me too, but finding time is a challenge. What do you write?

I too lack friends to talk about Buddhism with here, though this is really my own fault. I have many Buddhists friends on-line. Do you mind if i recommend you yet another site. It's not strictly a Buddhist or religious site but there are many good folk on it. It's a peace site for talking peace - http://ipeace.ning.com - it's new (official launch tomorrow) but already has over 4,000 members from 150 countries including many Buddhists.

At 9:37pm on September 18, 2008, Michael John Smith said…: Hi Mike. Interesting profile you have. Have you read Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Suzuki Roshi - one of my favourites. Anyway I've sent a friend request to you. Be nice to get to know each other better - I had a Catholic upbringing and attended a Jesuit school. I lost my faith in God and found Tibetan Buddhism.
With respect,
Michael
