About Me

i'm just someone who likes to enjoy life to the fullest--a hedonist of sorts, who dreams for a time and place where there is "no more trouble in this world..." or at least none of that major drama like EXPLOITATION, GENOCIDE, PATRIARCHY, ALIENATION, RACISM, HATE, & GREED. But unlike other dreamers, I refuse to stay in a dream-like state...los sueños son las voces de las visiones de nuestros antepasados y nos recuerdan lo que hay que hacer.... I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close. ~Pablo Neruda
