About Me

It is said that before we are born, we will choose the family we need to learn from. Once in a while, I stop to think about why I chose to be born into this particular life...what do I need to learn now? What lessons have I learned up to this point. I have been looking inward most of my life... asking questions that most can't answer... As I age, I find that the answer has always been inside of me...I just need to recognize it and nurture it from time to time... I believe in karma...everything that happens in life happens for a reason. I am drawn to free thinkers, people who have something to say, creative people, healers of the the body and soul. Love: without strings. Fresh air. Happy people. Smiles. My elders. Those who listen to their inner voices. Coyote.

My Interests

Through sunny days and yellow weeks, With clouds that melt in tears, The glory of the harvest speaks In all the silken ears.--J. Hazard Hartzell (1830–90)

~A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summers wave good bye~

Nature poets can't walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany.
- Christian Wiman

I'm a Renaissance woman. My interests are many and varied. Changing and coming back again.

Free Spirit, hugging trees, following the Seasons...and my bliss, shade on a hot day, fresh air, singing birds,good vibes, bare feet, dirt roads and one-lane bridges.Quilting, all by hand.

Vegetarianism,Natural remedies, Health and healing for Rheumatoid Arthritis, herbs, sustainability, activism, recycling.

Small organic farms, local produce, Harvest time, old barns...big red ones... weathered ones.

Words, reading, independent bookstores, wit, moleskin notebooks, a pen with good weight, coffee and a good book. Old Europe.

Politics and green socialism, revolutionaries, unions, Frida Kahlo, debating, caring about what happens next.

Wandering: the desert, the ocean, the mountains, the prairies. Thunder, lightning, wind. Moon gazing, the smell of burning juniper and sage.

Architecture: Art Deco and Gothic. Ranch-style modern.

Front porches in the Autumn, maple leaves, BC Canada, wind chimes, wine tasting, baking, grapes on the vine, crepes and espresso when it's cold outside, Autumn and all it brings...Halloween and sparkling stars.

Wandering in cemeteries: collecting names and photos, Renaissance, mysticism, cairns, mythical creatures, mythical people, magic.

Black and white photography, worn velvet couches, experimenting, candles, beautifully framed photos, ambiance, tuquoise, silver, splashes of red.

Snappy clothes with hair to match. Dark sunglasses and a mysterious scarf. Confidence.

Family, extended family, family photos, family history, bonds that can't be broken.

A favorite song coming from someone elses window, abandon, hugs, a smile.

In honor of my Gran Violet.
1920-1958

Accept Loss Forever.
~J.K.~

I'd like to meet:

If you're interested in bringing the past to the future and having fun with it, you are who I want to meet.

PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS.

Those who seek the truth, who are truth, who know truth.
Those who accept the light within.
Those who recognize truth and don't run from it.
Those who embrace the love and happiness in life.
Those who accept responsibility for their own actions.
Those who love without strings.
Those who avoid causing conflict where there is none.
Those who have a sense of humor about life's little mess-ups.

September fattens on vines. Roses flake from the wall. The smoke of harmless fires drifts to my eyes. This is plenty. This is more than enough. - Geoffrey Hill, September Song

Dia de los Muertos

"Umbrella"

This is dangerous comedy in the opening

a creature, superstition says, sprung from the coupling of a bike wheel and a kite.

Explosive papery rattling, a kite held by erratic winds.

Wind is disagreement- hot and cold-tension of surfaces pulling and picking.

Wind is the third wheel on a walk in the rain.

Ted O'Callahan
