About Me


Forever at the door I gave my heart and soul. My fortune, too. I've no flock anymore, no other work in view. My occupation: love. It's all I do.-John of the CrossNever stop striving to reach that place of peace, and once you're there strive to remain...

I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him.-Booker T. WashingtonI Love to learn about different cultures and religious beliefs. I am a deeply spiritual person (continuously undergoing maintenance) who believes in human rights and religious freedom... no matter who you are or what you prefer you are in this world the same as me trying to survive and be happy. There is no one right way, it is all a matter of perspective. . You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.~Hermann Hesse

My Interests



LOVE, good company, Human rights, Spirituality, Music and Writing. Picnics, going to the beach, taking pictures, making family videos...long walks on the beach or nature trails... coffee, art, photography, good mental and emotional health.Friendly debates or discussions on the current state of our world and the similiarities and differences among cultures and religions.Recycling, Pro-abundance, pro-peace, pro-equality.

..Meditation, relaxation, visualization... reading, thinking, pondering, listening, wondering, hoping... sleeping and dreaming.

HOLDING HANDS,Kissing, Scrabble, blowing bubbles, star gazing, candles, shopping... live music, festivals, movies, long scenic drives... the wonder of nature and our Creator.

I'd like to meet:

Peaceful People... who have weathered the storms

People who have lost their way and found their way back... ...Dreamers, seekers, artists, dancers, Writers, poets and musicians who have something to say that is worth listening to. People who are genuine, who have depth and who aren't afraid to open their minds and hearts to all the beautiful wonders that life has to offer, no matter how different or unknown it may be to them We all struggle in one way or another but sometimes we have to journey through the darkness in order to re-emerge into the light with a new appreciation. Without these experiences we would lack the gift of viewing life through another persons eyes or the ability to imagine what it may be like to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. .

..

Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.

The blues and depression

So, I've been feeling a little blue lately.  Can I blame it on PMS?  Well, I'd say it's fair to blame 80 to 90 percent on it... but that's only until those symptoms soon subside... what...
