My Interests

My culture and lots of community work- my kids, my family, my man and tattoos. I love astrology and indigenous astronomy. I think that if there wasnt a social justice need- i'd be an astronomer. I'm planting corn- beautiful cherry popcorn- with my little girl. The first time I planted corn- it was teared down at the south central farm- sad- but moving on. I hope it goes well.

I'd like to meet:

My self at peace and happy again. also: Thich Nhat Hahnand me here!!

I want to understand...."It was under the bodhi tree in India twenty-five centuries ago that Buddha achieved the insight that three states of mind were the source of all our unhappiness: ignorance, obsessive desire, and anger. All are equally difficult, but in one instant of anger, lives can be ruined, and our spiritual development can be destroyed.""People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child--our own two eyes. All is a miracle."- Thich Nhat Hahn
