Birds, butterflies, and flowers All make one band of paramours. ~William Wordsworth

About Me

I'am nothing more than a digital misconception. Everything you most likely think of me is an illusion created by music and HTML codes… The truth is I'am a little weird… I change for no one… I love vastly and I’m often in my own world… When I call you a friend you will know that I love you… I love in many shades and love without expectations…I ask the same of those who love me…. You have to know me to understand me… and even after you have met me you will most likely still have a head full of misunderstanding…I’m a mental drifter, a dreamer… I often say just what I’m thinking and tend to be so honest that it can hurt… I choose no scene...and follow no fashion...I like to be free to flutter from place to place..person to person...I live my life bu the 8 Fold Path::::1. Right View 2. Right Intention 3. Right Speech 4. Right Action 5. Right Livelihood 6. Right Effort 7. Right Mindfulness 8. Right Concentration::::: If you are wanting to befriend me and I do not know you…please send a message… it is rare that I will add people I do not know…I like to keep my list down to people I love and do not want to collect the faces of the silent unknown….I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells,I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace,When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.Namaste!
There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember: and there is pansies. that's for thoughts. There's fennel for you, and columbines: there's rue for you; and here's some for me: we may call it herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with a difference. There's a daisy: I would give you some violets, but they withered all when my father died: they say he made a good end,-- "

My Interests

Singing, Existential Philosophy, Art in All Forms,Walking (This is how I meet al the best people on the streets),Evolution, Yoga, Krav Maga, Sex Magick, Quantum Theory, Bohemianism,Veganism, Cymatics,Sideshow Arts, 93, Cabaret, Green Anarchy,Animism, Green Living, Vaudeville, Mass Consciousness, Shakespeare, The Occult,Edwardian, 1920s Era Things, Fantasy Games (Thats right I'm a gamer :-), The Paranormal, Myths, Natural Health, Beat Generation, Tea and all the lovely things that go with it, Eastern Philosophy, Wild Edibles, Naturalism....... Collective wisdom is informed by a deep comprehension of interconnection and a subtle penetration into mystery. As a discipline, collective wisdom encompasses knowledge of conscious and unconscious forces in human groups as well as realms that include earth, plants, planets, rivers, birds, animals, ancestors and spirit. We therefore affirm that our capacity for wisdom increases through identification with the whole, with the entire human species as well as the earth system and cosmos.

I'd like to meet:

The ones who paint the flowers and hold the seeds...The lovers of nature and the belivers of Fae.. The good huggers and the barefooted weirdos...The Lovers of Rain and those who hunger for knowledge...The drifters and worn... The fashion clueless and the poor artists...To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony. ~William Henry Channing"Just as all colours disappear in black, so all names and forms disappear in her" ~Mahanirvana Tantra

Music:

Noise, Trip Hop, Electronic, Industrial,Vintage,Apocalyptic Folk...I love music that makes me feel and music that makes me sing.... a mapped out sound that makes my mind see images....

Movies:

Silent Films, Vintage Horror, B-Movies, Fantasy, Stop Motion & Independent Love the truth. This is human illumination, Become the truth. This is divine illumination. You are the truth. This is the Supreme illumination. ~Sri Chinmoy

Television:

'I wish I might a rose-bud grow And thou wouldst cull me from the bower. To place me on that breast of snow Where I should bloom a wintry flower.' ~ Dionysius of Chalcus Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught, 'And spent my little life without a thought, And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim, Should think of me, who never thought of him.' ~René Francois Regnier Love the truth. This is human illumination, Become the truth. This is divine illumination. You are the truth. This is the Supreme illumination. ~Sri Chinmoy

Books:

:::Currently Reading: The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth: By Monica Sjoo & Barbara Mor:::I read much..... I enjoy the smell of a second hand book almost as much as tea.... Life is a frail moth flying Caught in the web of the years that pass.” ~Sara Teasdale I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. ~Joseph Addison This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family .... Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. ~ Ted Perry, inspired by Chief Seattle Our hearts are drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see. ~George W. Russell

Heroes:

This body is Nature. I am Consciousness, the silent witness of the actions of Nature. I am not the performer. This body acts according to its nature, because that is its nature. Remembering this, I am free, one among the audience in a theater watching the drama of life.Even in the worm that crawls in the earth there glows a divine spark. When you slaughter a creature, you slaughter God. ~Charles DarwinA human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. ~Albert EinsteinLet not the fierce sun dry one tear of pain before thyself hast wiped it from the sufferer’s eye. ~H.P. BlavatskyThe joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal. ~Aleister Crowley
