About Me

The Apple Orchard Come let us watch the sun go down and walk in twilight through the orchard's green. Does it not seem as if we had for long collected, saved and harbored within us old memories? To find releases and seek new hopes, remembering half-forgotten joys, mingled with darkness coming from within, as we randomly voice our thoughts aloud wandering beneath these harvest-laden trees reminiscent of Durer woodcuts, branches which, bent under the fully ripened fruit, wait patiently, trying to outlast, to serve another season's hundred days of toil, straining, uncomplaining, by not breaking but succeeding, even though the burden should at times seem almost past endurance. Not to falter! Not to be found wanting!Thus must it be, when willingly you strive throughout a long and uncomplaining life, committed to one goal: to give yourself! And silently to grow and to bear fruit.

My Interests

i just moved here last december after 5 years in NYC (to this day i am not sure if my undergraduate experience actually happened, or was, in fact, a surreal dream)i run. i meditate. i study. i adore my culture and uphold great pride and respect for my ethnic identity, with a modern spin on the more arcane ideas (arranged marriage/racism/sexism/islam in general, NOT I!!!) i am the mistress of spices and the kitchen is where i practice my magic : ) i LOVE doggies. i love making body scrubs and cookies for my friends to show them how very much i appreciate their existence(s). i am a bit of a Fire personality but tend to come across more as a simmering-pile-of-charred-logs-that-has-been-splashed-with-r osewater personality ; )
