I'd like to meet:

Truth is not gained through observation, it's gained through experience.Another poem:What is it to dance? The music starts Tension and relaxation simultaneously begins Flowing arms, charming accents Cannot remove the joy from my face Feel til the music becomes part of me I am beckoned, a flame dancing in the fire Mesmerizing, no boundaries Exuberant breaths Alone and Public merges into one Like a fresh rain shower on sun soaked skin Vitality overflows Expressions abound Wonderment and all of its marvel Beating drums, pulsing, speeding heart Dare I continue this quest? But for not, tragedy abides Never discredit or disregard the spirit of the dance Feed it, as if kindling, to ignite the torch Guidance and fulfillment Wishes granted, just for the asking Believe and be true Unleash the genuine gypsy Cannot be contained within thy walls Movement, worldly, earthly ‘Tis but one’s own will that holds thine back Be free and roam The sliver of the moon is lit with thine eyes Shine brightly, as the stars on a crystalline night Become the moods of the wind Delight and relish the swirling momentum Reflections of pleasurable dreams re-enacted What, again, is it to dance?AryaMyself when I am 80 years old.Incredibly unique individuals.

Television:

Nah! Outside is where it's at! Near an enchanting fire, if possible, and some drums...perhaps an orange, full wondering moon, the soft touch of fine pebbles surrounding your bare feet, and the sounds, smells and feel of the ocean close at hand - can you imagine? OR: a small open space in the middle of gnarled oaks and undergrowth, moss-scented and covered, with a stream of sun rays or moonlight radiating all around..ah the places where the Great Spirit is -

Books:

I love inspirational autobiographies and stories - and hope to write one someday. I also would love to publish a book of poems.

And you will find the peace you are looking for. Take time for a meditative walk outside, or find a comfortable place to lie or sit still and listen to the silence. It really is GOLDEN. Think of the s...

Kanu talks

"I have confided in someone who is not part of my band.  I have broken an oath and caused dishonor and distrust," Kanu stated, matter of factly, still staring into the fire. "The OTE has sha...

Kanus turn...

Kanu caught Derivia's eyes, and nodded.  Amber wondered what it was about.  Kanu gathered wood and began to make a fire - it looked like they were planning on spending the night in the dense...

Where are they?

What happened?  Amber felt around her...it was dark, she was alone.  She felt grass beneath her, but could not see a foot in front of her.  Everything was jet black.  It was like r...

Yes, the story does continue...

Walking through the darkness was like tasting something unknown.  Amber wasn't quite sure if she liked it, but at the same time, it was quite exciting and exhilerating - the not knowing was what ...

Derivia asks...

When they finished their meager meal - soup, dry bread, and water from their flasks - they all gazed into the fire and watched the flames dart around.  It was mesmerizing.  Derivia spo...

"Kanu will be staying with us for the next few days," Derivia said to Amber.  "We will find a safe place within the forest to camp." Amber hoped Kanu or Derivia couldn't hear her gulp, as she won...
