About Me

My photo
Joc Sanders
Joakim is my pen-name, and I live with my wife Marty, who I here call Susanna, not in Babylon, but close to the banks of the Shannon in Ireland, where we share a one-acre garden. It was a ploughed field when we came here in 2000, and like all gardens, it is a work in progress. As I till it, I often reflect on the important questions, such as Life, the Universe, God and Love. As a member of the Church of Ireland, part of the Anglican Communion, I do so through a Christian prism.
