My Interests

I love to learn new things, be it a new cuisine, art form or culture.

I'd like to meet:

People who believe in something greater than themselves. Those who feel a contribution to the greater good is not an obligation or right but a wonderful opportunity. And people who love to laugh!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Doubt

I chose the "category" of this blog for the word hope; it seems that at times I cling to that more fiercly than a drowning man clings to a floating board. The past 10-12 months have not been easy ones...

For L.C.

His embrace is my safe place. I rest my head on his chest, tracing the hard planes of his torso; one I would recognize even blind. Drinking in his scent, my heart begins to race. My desires and wishes...
