About Me

Where to start, where to start....Loves: big cities, travel, live music in teeny venues, photography, learning, reading, books, words, poetry, art, seashells by the seashore, meditation by the seashore, library time, quiet time, journals, remembering, making memories, peacoats, scarves, tall boots, lime-green, raspberry tea, water with lemon, morning pages, artist's dates with myself, 5am, dusk, morning dew, wet grass underneath my yoga mat, my wishing cow, my buddha statue, yellow anything, big honkin' purses, dictionary's, the smell of a new book, actually sitting down and reading the entire newspaper everyday (with the exception of the sports and business section - can't get my mind to care enough about those two), cake and frosting, frosting and cake, sprinkles, coffee dates, brunch dates, big laughs, living IN and FOR the moment, that my "Loves" list is longer than my "Does Not Love" list...Does Not Love: conformity, disrespect, a lack of knowledge, the smell of burnt toast, slow computers, when my camera takes too long to process pictures I took one second ago, when my Grandmother sighs heavily, broken promises, unkept words, pen smears on my left hand

My Interests

I love everything. At some point your relationship with God will become like this: next time you meet Him in the desert or on a crowded city street, there won't be anymore "leaving." That is, God will climb into your pocket. And you will simply just take yourself along. -Hafiz

The day will come when, with elation, You will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror. And each will smile at the other's welcome, and say,'Sit here, eat.'

You will love again with the stranger who was yourself. Give bread, Give back your heart to itself, To the stranger who has loved you all your life, Whom you ignored for another, Who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, The photographs, the desperate notes, Peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.
