Speak the truth and shame the Devil~Francoise Rabelais

About Me

I love these orange-colored links across the front of my page, for one. About me: Uh...I like art poetry anthropological discussions. I love to read, write, study, I am deeply spiritual. I am a student and teacher of this world. I enjoy artistic and religious history. I am driven. I am fascinated with birth, death, and transformation and any aspect of life which relates to those three main concepts. I garden in the spring and summer (and write great poetry), and hibernate during the winter months. I enjoy psychology, symbology, mythology and secrets. I get lost in museums of art and book stores for very long periods of time. I am a reader of cards and dreams and floral arranging is nice.
