I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a recently self-discovered "work-in-progress." I left Life for a time -- to grieve, to reflect -- and now return with a passion for joy and a treasury of memories that remind me of my Journey. I am interested in every religious path and form of spiruality, history, psychology, film/theater that makes you weep and/or roar, music that impales the heart while uplifting it. I am a poet -- I don't "write poetry" -- big difference. Flying --especially the metaphysical kind. Allowing love that melds with Spirit in and thus growing while holding fast to the Love in my heart. New friends. GREAT conversations that go around the planet! People who value the meaning of being truly human. Eddie Izzard, Triumph the Wonder Dog. Travelling to the Far, Far East. Camping in Labrador, again. Being astonished every day.

Truth in art defies intolerance.

My Interests

Exposure to anything that stimulates my self re-invention. I could list "things" forever, but without being engaged they are meaningless. I need to be engaged and know when I am when I am not. Travel everywhere -- I am always engaged when I am 'on the road again'.

I'd like to meet:

Kindred spirits. People who make my life better and I do the same for them.

Music:

From Dervish Music to Gaellic Ullean pipes, Acoustic Guitar in the hands of a master, Hilary Hahn and Josh Ritter, Vivaldi, Bach's Concerto for Two Violins, The Last Waltz and everybody who partied that night...

Movies:

Last of the Mohicans, Becket, A Man for All Seasons, Adaptation, Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast", Pelle the Conqueror, Anything with Captain Jack Sparrow (the true son of Keith Richards)

Television:

I let my friends show me things so I don't get stale: Now -- The Tudors. The Office, Boston Legal (Denny and Alan). Firefly was a wonder.

Books:

I have 8 bookcases filled with dear friends. Dylan Thomas taught me about the music of language, Gwendolyn Brooks made me understand what it means to be white and a woman, Poe and I go way back, Neruda taught me that Love has many, many forms.

Heroes:

Fr. Raymond J. Adams, Robert Bolt's Sir Thomas More, Christopher Stadler, Robert Newnam, Every woman who has the courage to be a human being first.
