About Me

etsu, japanese for delight...finding delight in all things, in everything that has been given, in everything around us, and in giving delight to others... i'm a mother, a wife, a believer...an artist, sometimes writer and novice photographer...i'm puerto rican and desire to know more about my heritage but also of the world around me...i want to do more to care for this place we have been given...to care for the natural wonders and creatures around us...there is so much beauty everywhere we look..i hope for myself that i can do better in this way of thinking, of delighting and finding delight; the beauty and happiness in things..i'm hoping, with *etsu* to share some of that with everyone in my actions and in my heart... i'm hoping to give a little back to those who really need it...to bring a little delight to others whose world may not be as privileged as some...i'm hoping to step out of the box and explore...i'm hoping this for myself...and hoping to bring this *etsu* to everyone soon...♥ andrea

I'd like to meet:

When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space. - Pema Chodron
