Colman O'Cuin

Born an Irish Catholic, Colman was rescued in the nick of time by a stint in a Carmelite Monastery. Seeds were planted. After 40 years wandering in the deserts of corporate Canada, kinky sex, mild to moderate alcohol abuse and the philosophy of Wittgenstein, the seeds planted in his youth by wise mystics finally sprouted and bore fruit. He stopped smoking, invested wisely and is busy writing a manifesto for a new contemplative Christian sect honouring both the Erotic and the Mystical.

Of course he brought a bit of the desert with him, refusing to part with uisce beatha, Guinness and irregular sessions with a favourite Dominatrix (or two).
