Introduction

I’m very new to this method of keeping a journal and have tried several times to write a few sentences about my self on the About page.  However, they all seem to disappear into a black hole as soon as I log off.

I am Susan Clarkson, 65, living in Oxford.  I am a Catholic who is exploring the Quaker path.  I am also a peace activist who takes part in direct action.  At the end of the year I am planning to go with a peace delegation to Afghanistan.

This journal will be a way for me to explore these and other aspects of my life, that is of course if I can manage to keep what I write from disappearing
