I dont' believe that you can ask for anything in the universe that isn't already in the universe" -

About Me


Paradise isn't in the geography-

but if it were, you could find a hint of it here. In these mountains and hills, this valley. Sequestered from the rabble and chatter of city streets this is where the sun shines and the sky snows and the wind blows in all directions simultaneously. Enigmatic in simplicity. This is home.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet you all again some sunny day with your stories of travels adventures and friends. I'd like to listen to tales of the world told, through the eyes of beloved sons and daughters once native here. I'd like to share the shade of a sycamore tree on the hill downtown where a stone's throw away house sparrows and starlings compete for bread crumbs on the sidewalk by the street.
