"Live simply, so that others may simply live." - Mahatma Gandhi
************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********
Nekkid twirling, swirling daisy fairy girl skipping and tripping barefoot through mud, blue glass, hearts and chocolate.... I am lazily eager, inspired and sleeping most of the time. I will eat anything. Play the guitar for me and I am yours. I like boys who are gentlemen and girls who are a little more raw and not scared of me. I come from wild hippy free flowing amazingly brilliant and wonderful parents. I was born in a barn on eighty acres of trees and daisies. Coming out, I was early, backwards and not breathing... I make up for it now. I have been everywhere and still nowhere somehow. Quiet. Analytical. Emotional. Passionate. Sensual. Raw. Alive. Bruised. Wanderer. Spontaneous. Maternal. Hungry. Dreamer. Playful. Tree-hugger. Tree-climber. Mud wrestler. I love my dog. I've been told I smell like playdough. I look like my mom. I moisturize with olive oil. I am secretly ... Look me in the eyes and I will tell you anything. I fall in love every day.

My Interests

Love and flipflops in your belly, cooking, eating, dancing in the sun, making love in the rain, laughing at the moon, poetry, painted art, photography, naked toes, girl bodies, mom and pop shops, claw-foot bathtubs, warm thunderstorms, bonfires, mittens sparkling with snow, the scent of hay in the air, weeping willows, hail, the harmonica, love letters, wishes made on shooting stars and dandelion fluff, redefining "family", subway musicians, park benches, yellow kitchens, lilacs, dew laced cobwebs, crumbling brick, old crushes that never die, malbec and albarino and gewrztraminer, fireworks, picnics, catching the scent before the sight of flowers, innertubing, chocolate, sardines, snails, sushi, hayfields, the smell of melting butter and garlic, hands, anticipation, full cups, baby foreheads, really big hugs, silence, forgetting to breathe then remembering, breasts, echoes, sitting alone staring at the masses, swooning, spooning, making meatballs with my grandpa, hand formed mugs, getting rid of everything I own...again and again, the idea of being a 'regular' somewhere, listening to someone else's heartbeat, summer-blonde body hair, the taste of another's smile, earth, pictures in the clouds, lullabies, wrinkles, clean sheets, fire, nag champa, laughter, the yellow of grain, echoes, naked walks on sunny days, mud puddles, my dog's dirty feet, pretty people snoring, leftovers, good oatmeal stout, the golden hour, being in love, the eager anticipation of mouths meeting then kissing until you fall down.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Neil Young and tell him thank you. I'd like to meet amazing friends and like minded, forward thinking, truly beautiful souls. I want to meet people that wake up and smile at each new day and wave when they pass others cars on dirt roads. I want to meet people who care about the planet and their fellow creatures, people that take time to see where they are and make conscious choices about where they are going. I want to meet people who are inspired and know how to feel, that are not just alive, but living - Fully...

I am more content than I have felt in a really, really, really long time. I am at peace.  And I have found HOME.  This, to someone like me, is nothing short of a miracle. As this year's stor...

Through the glass I am being contemplated by a fallen leaf.

And I breathe deeper, this new air catching deep in the recesses of these pink lungs and bruised throat.  The light outside floods through warm windows reflecting something deeper than the surfac...
