About Me

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet. Let it not be a death but completeness. Let love melt into memory and pain into songs. Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest. Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night. Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence. I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.-- Rabindranath Tagore
"Sorrow is tranquility remembered in emotion." - Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)

My Interests

I am one of the people who love the why of things.-- Catherine the Great

I'd like to meet:

I found these words of wisdom on another MySpace page. I am not sure who the author is, but whoever wrote it, hit the nail right on the head. No truer words have *EVER* been spoken about someone.
Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch you habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your Destiny.
