The beginning of EVERYTHING.

About Me

I am...
I am the stranger who is more like family. I have an inner child. I paint a picture with words. I create collages with words.

"Hug O' War"
by the late Shel Silverstein
I will not play at tug o' war
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses
And everyone grins
And everyone cuddles
And everyone wins.


I can see a child's imaginary friend. I am part of the normally insane, and the insanely normal. I am a learning adult. I fear most things people do not.

And I am easily amused...
