I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I made my TFS layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com

Sculptor.
Whether that's with clay, wax, words, whispers, dreams, or macaroni and glitter-glue, it's all wondrous.
I am never without a sketchbook and a pen, and be forewarned that I may drift off mid-conversation to jot something down, but if I don't get it out there and then it might be lost forever.
I also collect keys- the more unique the better, but I don't keep them: I tie ribbons to them and hang them on trees.
Love.
“Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.”
-- Franz Kafka
...
"Seduce my mind and you can have my body, Find my soul and I'm yours forever."
