but she likes pleasures in life

About Me

the intoxicating scent of dirt, the enchantment of tree leaves rustling in the wind and symphonies of crickets in my backyard, waking up with the birds, watching the clouds from my backporch at sunset, sleeping in my garden, the moon, the healing properties of weeds, growing my own tea, having you over for a picnic, sharing the bounty of my vegetables, *magical blackberry bushes*, the seduction of sun-warmed tomatoes, an enchanted garden and the dazzling array of insects, worms, birds, slugs and others who live there and make it all happen, dancing with my dogs, worshiping the bees from my front porch, eating watermelon in lakes, and silence. eternal optimist and tree-lover. addicted to ecofeminist/humane teaching, gardening, and living compassionately. a massage/back scratch addict who will drop everything at the first hint of an ear massage. crazy about dogs, love music that makes me cry, and celebrating things - anything, really. birthday week! love interesting words but i have a loose memory and and enjoy forgetting things. interested in interconnections, laughing, and falling in love with life everytime i walk out the door.

My Interests

picnicking barefoot in my backyard (blackberries!), sustainability studies, revisioning education, climbing trees, the perfect camping site with its own swimming hole, staircases, lying on fallen trees, my magic garden, making my flying dream come true, a new pile of library books, solarizing my house, being outside, dancing in your living room, my windchimes before a storm, re-use, reading other peoples' letters (only when they let me), being alone

I'd like to meet:

someone who loves silence, eating vegetables, giving hand massages or ear rubs, rolling down hills, paying my library fines, or reading to me.

Music:

anything from the 80's - esp. new wave -mmm, the divinyls!, old timey bluegrass, al green, the cure, leonard cohen, andrew bird, the buddha machine, cat stevens, old crow medicine show, john prine, talking heads, good soul, bruce springsteen!, any old time rock n' roll, belle and sebastian, the who, the louisville orchestra, erin mckeown, gillian welch, stellar ray, friend mixes

Movies:

ponette, old yeller, stand by me, il cane blu, muriel's wedding

Television:

used to love silver spoons and i'm planning a home video recreation of the facts of life (ooh, like bottle caps candy! - an imitation of an imitation of an imitation!)

Books:

morning in the burned house, of human bondage, any organic gardening books, any vegan cookbook, east of eden, where the red fern grows, the egypt game, the education of little tree, a wrinkle in time, silas house, karen warren, vandana shiva, matthew fox, rumi, rilke, and on and on and on...

Heroes:

all my students, worms, soil
