I love music...the written word...good movies with substance...comfortable shoes...thunderstorms...pizza...chocolate...big dogs...real people. I enjoy simple pleasures like taking walks, sleeping during thunderstorms, and getting into bed with freshly laundered sheets that smell of bleach.
I'd like to meet:
Since I believe in divine connections, I'm open to meeting anyone that God has in mind for me to meet.
These are some of my photos. To see a larger view of any image, just click here and go to my flickr page.
Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
--Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
To hope means to be ready at every moment
for that which is not yet born...
--Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
