Stephen Pocklington lives on a small Certified Wildlife Habitat within the High Rock Lake-Yadkin River Watershed in North Carolina.  He shares this haven with his partner, their dog Dubhshith, and diverse appreciative wildlife.

It should be noted that Stephen is holds fast to the precept Cause no unnecessary harm.  He hasn’t fired any weapons since the Army took them away, deemed him unfit, and sent him home in 1981.  He was a fairly good shot, but then he got better.  Since laying down the sword, he has relied on his pen.  He has written so many letters to elected representatives that they each have a special bin for storing them (cylindrical containers, open at the top and about 18 inches tall).

Over the years, his car bumpers have sagged from the burden of too many futilely imploring bumper stickers.  Endless marching merely took him in weary circles, wondering how it could be that he still had to protest the same shit.   Yet, now in his seventies, he remains curiously hopeful.
