Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good

About Me

I love to laugh and smile, love and be loved. Spend hours working in my garden. Putting my hands in soil (never wear gardening gloves, it ruins the experience)- picking out plants at the nursery. Traveling is my absolute favorite thing to do. There is nothing like experiencing a new culture, the food, the smells, the customs and language, exploring new landscapes, architecture, and art. I love museums, all discovery channels and especially music. Hiking and camping are two of my favorite past times. Taking pictures and reliving my experiences every time I look at them. Pretending like I'm not an adult. Mexican food, beer, shopping. Writing. Eternal student. Nappy hair,hating bras. Astrology and numerology but not taking it too seriously. Dance, chant, sing. Meditation- when I slow down enough to do so. Stella Artois, Spanish sparkling wine, mojitos. Loving my dogs like they are family. Fashion, socks with pictures. Music, local bands, obscure bands, popular bands. Peeling the label off of my beer. Foamy soap in public restrooms.

City

Cal trains and violinists meet making money, taking money. Rush and push, hectic. An allure of beauty, peace, diversity and optimism That there can be change.
