~My best friend (moonviolette) sent me this video and has it on her page. I love it completely, so I must add it here~Currently Reading:
Raven Hart's The Vampire's Seduction (setting in Savannah,Ga.--it's so beautiful there & the "most haunted city in the US." ) & then it will be Robert McCammon's The Queen of Bedlam.
Also reading: The Gnostic Bible (just a little every night)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“"What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions.Life is plurality, death is uniformity.By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death.The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us.Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life"â€~Octavio Paz~I enjoy art--in all it's various forms~

UTOPIAWe'd gather around
All in a room
Fasten our belts
Engage in dialogue
We'd all slow down
Rest without guilt
Not lie without fear
Disagree sans judgementWe would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak upThis is utopia
This is my utopia
This is my ideal
My end in sight
Utopia
This is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimateWe'd open our arms
We'd all jump in
We'd all coast down
Into safety netsWe would share and listen and support and welcome
Be propelled by passion, not invest in outcomes
We would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
Be gentle and make room for every emotionThis is utopia
This is my utopia
This is my ideal
My end in sight
Utopia
This is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimateWe'd provide forums
We'd all speak out
We'd all be heard
We'd all feel seenWe'd rise post-obstacle, more defined, more grateful
We would heal, be humbled, and be unstoppable
We'd hold close and let go and know when to do which
We'd release and disarm and stand up and feel safeThis is utopia
This is my utopia
This is my ideal
My end in sight
Utopia
This is my utopia
This is my nirvana

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."--PLATO

Fragile (lyrics by Sting):
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun.
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay.Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could.
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are.On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star.
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
My taste in music is best described as eclectic--those close to me can predict the mood I'm in based on the music I'm listening to. I love music with profound meaning attached to it as well as what has a great beat or sound that inspires me. That's what it boils down to--what inspires me.

Friends and close family,my children, and most especially my husband. Writers. Those that overcome adversity. Those that challenge the world to think with an open mind. The teachers of the world; philosophers. Anyone that can laugh at the absurdities in life. Anyone that inspires me to improve and be a better person.~~“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.†~Dr. Carl Sagan~~
