About Me

I make things for people to enjoy, so far. I make buttons, mugs, hanging sculpture and various other easy access ceramic items. I read constantly. I am interested in reality therapy and helping people help themselves. What do you want? Is what you are doing helping you get there? Yes indeed.I also have a radio show -'I love Saint John'- featuring the latest hip hop. Thursdays at 3:30pm (Atlantic) on CFMH 92.5 FM via www.shoutcast.com.I enjoy first person narratives; there's something mysterious about the word 'I' and all comments that begin with it. Something marked.Most of my time is spent in a little studio on a cliff next to the sea, taking care of little Althea and Crunchie. The rest of it is focused on trekking to M'real for love.Molly MacNaughton, Cara Cole and I will be featured at the Art's Center in May with our compiled works in 'SUSPENSION'.

My Interests

Love.Truth.Prayer.Art.Thought. Learning. Positive Social/spiritual Change. Blue sweaters. Pottery, especially woodfired. Political science. The ocean. J-Skill. Kiln building. Community. Social capital. Craft councils. Radical behaviour. What is thinking? Asking questions. Knowing. Believing. Certainty. Doing. The most important of these is love. I like that people are not like I expect, and I am learning more what I am everyday. It's like peeling layers of an onion away, and the green part in the middle gets longer and longer. I love people and plants and animals and all the elements. This physical time is kind of like glass; I am made of metal (and so much more, but for the sake of metaphor) and God, magnetic, is on the other side of the glass. I am able to sense attraction to God more, and I love it. Let's ascend
