OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

About Me

Skyspirit...High above the clouds I hang myself From fabric and strings Harnessed, yet free A puppet of sorts. Though I am hanging Like a puppet Myself and the wind are my puppeteers.Completely solitary I hang. The wind caressing as I move it, it moves me. I thank it for being there with me. Seeing the world from a different place Where quiet answers me back With nothing more or less than myself.Through control of no one else’s Save the designers of my flight, I swoop among the birds and Slide down the side of a cloud Living for real in my childhood dreams.I can fly, Not like a bird, But like me. No, really, I can fly.I am the puppet and the puppeteer, The pilot and the bird with wings . All one. Alone . Whole. The holiest of communions. The most ME, I will ever be, Hanging high above the clouds On fabric and strings......

My Interests

Yoga, Shiatsu, Long walks or hikes, I am a skydiver with 406 jumps and I love that with quite a bit of my heart, nature, love, happiness, writing, art, health, wine, childlike behavior, gardens, simplicity, beauty, energy, life!
