About Me

I don't pretend to know everything about the world, but I do know a little. I'm all grown up now, but I'm still a child at heart. I'm lucky to have friends to love, but I've also been hated. I am bold, but I'm also shy. I live in the beautiful countryside, but I've lived in the city. I have trouble expressing the feelings of my heart, but I know I can love. I am happy in my life, but I've lived in utter despondancy. I have talked with tramps, and spoken with the aristocracy. I've been scared and I've been brave. I have eaten live fish and insects but also the world's finest foods. I have suffered humilating defeat and received praise for success. I am confident but also nervous. I have two beautiful daughters. I've nursed injured animals and killed with my bare hands. I'm often whimsical, but I think a great deal. I'm concerned about the environment, but I'm not an activist. I have loved many people, but given my heart to very few. I try to be a good role model, but I do foolish things. I have drank stale pond water, but also the finest Champagne. I've danced til exhaustion, but I have two left feet. I believe in a God, but rarley go to church. I am honest, true and in it for the long haul. I have failed my exams and been top of the class. I am far too serious and also too silly. I worry about how I'm perceived, but I don't give a damn what other people think. I've cried and I've laughed, sometimes at the same time. I've opened my mouth to speak, but nothing's come out. I love music, but I can't play a note. I have felt supported and I've felt alone. These words might mean that we're both much alike and indeed I guess you're probably right.

My Interests

I'm interested in many things but then there's a lot to take in, in this world! I believe that life is a rich tapestry of many wonderous colours and that we impart the essence of our being onto this tapestry for future generations to develop and enjoy. I try my upmost to ensure that I leave nothing of detriment to the time I inhabit and hopefully enhance my world for those who follow me. I believe it is necessary for us all to take responsibility for our own actions and to relinquish the tendency to judge others for theirs.

I'd like to meet:

The person who has enough courage to open their heart as wide as I open mine. The person who can speak the truth and accept it, without exception. The person who's spirit is free and who's soul is pure.

A Cat in the Night

How can it be that we can see the brightest lights when it is night outside? Perhaps we need the dark as a canvas upon which the light can be painted? I don't pretend to be able to explain these ...
