About Me


I'm a dreamer, a mystic, a poet, an artist, an intellectual, a friend, and a lover. I see with my heart and my mind. I may come across as naïf but I see clearly; I choose to focus on the positive because the light is not swallowed up by the darkness. The bravest thing that anyone can do is walk in the light of love, openness, empathy, and humanity. Besides life is much more fun when lived that way! I think life's greatest adventure is to coming to know the Great Good God of the Universe. He/She is revealed in all of Creation, not least in every individual human being. The Universe is full of Light and Life for those with Eyes to See and Ears to Hear. "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." Yet all too often those who claim to represent him walk in the darkness of exclusion, judgment and hate. Too many have suffered there, and I hope to be a Light and sing my songs of Love and Healing.
