I am here for Friends

About Me

I make art quilts. I am a social worker. I would like to meet those who are out there creating something new and unique, art in any form.********************************* "To move forward clinging to the past is like dragging a ball and chain. The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over. We are all guilty of crime, the great crime of not living life to the full. But we are all potentially free. We can stop thinking of what we have failed to do and do whatever lies within our power. What these powers are that are in us may be no one has truly dared to imagine." Henry Miller

My Interests

reading, movies, making art, being in community with other liberal people.

I'd like to meet:

"Nobody can stop a woman from feelin' she has to rise up like the sun. Somebody may change the words we're sayin' but the truth will live on and on. You can't kill the spirit. It's like a mountain, Old and strong. It lives on and on." Izquierda

Keep your face there close.Like this.When someone quotes the old poetic image about clouds gradually uncovering the moon, slowly loosen knot by knot the strings of your robe.Like this.If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead, don’t try to explain the miracle.
