Hi, I'm a retired Canadian born British citizen living in Kenya, single with no children. I've been told I'm a loner. I suppose it's true, but at the same time I can't help feeling that there's someone out there that I should be connecting with. Being a loner is probably what made me give up everything in 1998 and become a monk, that and the aspiration to find a deeper meaning to my life and a true and abiding inner peace. I left Canada in 1999 and went to a forest monastery in Sri Lanka, where I spent three years. I accepted an invitation to take up residence at a small monastery in Kenya in 2003 and a few years later I went rogue and let go of the institution to focus on the core teachings and my personal practice. I eventually let go of my monk identity in 2010 to be a spiritual loner and around the same time picked up a small motorcycle to get around with. That rekindled a passion that saw me ride a Harley from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back more than twenty years ago - the small bike was not going to do. Three years ago I picked up a large bike to explore Kenya and to do something else that I really enjoy - camping and being close to nature. After some 55,000 kilometers combining riding, camping and spiritual practice, along with serious physical training, I feel I am getting close to the understanding and peace I was looking for. Now I think there is just one piece of the great puzzle missing and I'm wondering if she may be here.
