Once your eyes are opened,
you can choose to turn the other way,
but you can no longer choose not to see.


My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Everyone has something unique to offer this world.
I am not impressed with worldly materialistic superficiality.
I am, however, impressed by people's internal world-
How you think about the world around you,
How it shapes you, and more importantly
How you shape the world.


This is a slideshow interpretation of my poem entitled "How Strange"

Heroes:



"For me, to be a writer is to acknowledge the secret wounds that we carry inside us, wounds so secret that we ourselves are barely aware of them, and to patiently explore them, know them, illuminate them, own them, and make them a conscious part of our spirit and our writing." -
