Learning to let go, to trust, to love.
Learning to thinkwritesay the word Love without hyperventilating.
Self-reflection, introspection, people, energy, mystery, forgiveness, truth, sensuality, having crushes, love without ownership, making out, stolen kisses, being wooed with Neruda, rope, sexy unmentionables,
adventures with Pepe (because you never know where you could end up),
healing, Reiki, Qigong,
reading, knitting, photography (fetish, fashion, music), writing, traveling, music, movies, archery, kundalini yoga, natural medicine, flower essences, aromatherapy, Buddhism, tarot, mythology, the art of Frida Kahlo, language, organic dark chocolate, lovingly cooked food, magic and magick,
my family, my friends, my enemies, the people in between, learning from my missteps, living without regret.
I'd like to meet:
Writers and muses, artists, performers, and rabble-rousers of all sorts who might be interesting to photograph.
I'm also happy to correspond with people showing a sincere interest in Reiki, flower essences, or other forms of energy/healing work.
Please have the courtesy to read the profile. If you have intelligent things to say/ intelligent questions to ask regarding any of my listed or even related interests, by all means do so. A respectful and considerate approach will be returned in kind. I won't even consider your friend request unless you have sent me an introductory email first. It is called a "request" for a reason---mind your manners.
And please do not assume we are soul mates because we are both on myspace. I do not read Michael Crichton or enjoy blowing things up, nor will I answer requests for "a piece of that American ass" (that's Colombian ass, or didn't you read the profile?)
