About Me



The more I learn, the more I realize that I know nothing, which is good for the soul as no one really can say, definitively, what is and what isn't. I am a mom, a wife to be (again), a writer, a full-time student of life and humanity, of Buddhism and the Tao, a sister to two, a daughter, an activist, a seeker...I am lucky, very lucky...if I complained, I'd be an idiot...”In this century we have made remarkable material progress, but basically we are the same as we were thousands of years ago. Our spiritual needs are still very great.” HH Dalai Lama”People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.” Thich Nhat Hanh

My Interests



Writing, reading poetry; everything from Robert Frost and Elizabeth Bishop to Plath and Sexton. I am a tree hugging liberal so I like listening to NPR, reading Noam Chomsky, Thich Nhat Hanh; spending time with like minded friends discussing philosophy and also spending time with those who have differing views but are beautiful in their own ways. I am in the process of lessening attachment to material things. It is very hard when brought up in a privileged place such as I have been, but it means a lot to me to try. Most importantly, though, are my wee ones...they are my world.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, kind hearted souls who know that today is as uncertain as tomorrow and that a minute ago is long gone...people who see beauty in any form, not just the obvious.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.
