I'd like to meet other creative beings, (we are all creative :)), with a common vision of creating positive social change in the world and those who wish to help heal the environment of this precious earth... as well as long lost friends and new friends... also those who want to connect about collaborating on group art shows, involving musicians, and other performers, especially those who are interested in doing this in the sf bay area, (but definitely open to other places as well). I'm also looking for dancers, musicians, and film makers who wish to be part of a multi-media dance performance.

My favorite movie of all has got to be Baraka. For it really shows a true perspective on what's happening on the planet, and what needs to be valued. I also like "Whisper of the Heart," a great japanimation about following your dreams, digging deep, and polishing the gems that you find inside.TEXT

TEXT Wyvern by A. A. Atonasio has been a favorite, as far as fiction goes, for a while... These days I find myself reading yogic philosophy books and books about the inherent spirituality of life. Richard Bach is one of my favorite authors. Books that have the power to change one's life I gravitate towards such as Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. Sometimes for fun, I'll read a children's novel. Now I'm reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. These kind of books inspire me as I aspire to write and illustrate children's books... ... I also really like most books by Paulo Coelho, such as The Alchemist, The Pilgrimage, and I Sat Down by the River Piedra and Cried.
Gandi and Julia Butterfly are two... Michael Franti is another... Thoreau... people who have enough backbone to stand up for what they believe in. Another hero is my grandmother, for her beautiful spirit, unconditional love, and integrity as a person.TEXT
