Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. -Thoreau

About Me

Following the music of my gypsy soul
Dancing in the light of my heart
Singing a song of hope...
"I want to take life by the horns as if it were a young bull, but I won't stab it in the flank nor pass a sword through it's throat nor thrust myself over the horns, not that, but I will dance with it, dance with the awkward bull. Dance."

My Interests



LOVE, laughter, discovering and spreading truth, authenticity, dance, bellydance, bhakti yoga, mama nature, Reclaiming, community, the basics, taking responsibility, the butterscotch pony, free ecstatic divine expression, grace, anicca anicca anicca… surrender, action, the beauty in destruction, celebration, adventure, intimacy, dissolving fear, intuition, compassion... Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha

I'd like to meet:

"It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful be realistic remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments." -"The Invitation" by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Music:

is a dancer's lover... There is even song in the silence, and dance in the stillness.

Television:

No thanks.... Can you remember who you were before your programming began?

Books:

Yes please.

Heroes:

Those who live and speak the truth, no matter what the outcome.
Those who can simultaneously laugh at, and act upon, bullshit...

... A corrupt system cannot be overcome by acting within the rules of such corrupt system... True change will not be televised, nor will it be voted in. Change happens by critical thinking and courageous individuals acknowledging Truth and CHANGING THEIR OWN LIVES.
