About Me

i dance circles around myself. i am enjoying the freedom life has to offer me right now, though i'm learning about the change inherent in the very idea of it. i value being alone, but i want to share life with other people. my feet are claustrophobic, and my fingertips are texture addicts. i miss having kids in my life. i love living near the mountains. i like autumn, spiced chai, and pumpkin pie. i like to play dress up. i also like the voice of t.s. eliot, and the face of neruda. oh, and i'm in love with rainer maria rilke i'm also on: http://idrinkthesea.blogspot.com http://virb.com/whoknowsthemoon http://followthesettingsun.blogspot.com http://beautyisbrains.blogspot.com
