"We join spokes together in a wheel, but it's the center hole that makes the wagon move.We shape clay into pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.We hammer wood for a house but it is the inner space that makes it livable.We work with being, but not-being is what we use."~*~*Tao Te Ching~*~* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eventually I am going to update this, but for now...I have given birth to my beautiful son, Kahlil Bodhi Shikai on April 5, '07. My life is transformed and is full of meaning again. He is just completely engrossing, watching him grow, develop and blossom....I am beginning to reconnect with myself, thanks to Kahlil. Cloth diapering, responsible parenting, making baby food, recycling, sustainable living, caring for our lives in a meaningful way; these are things that are important to me. MASSAGE THERAPY, Alternative, Homeopathic and Ayurvedic medicine. The healing arts in general. Kripalu Yoga. Making peace with my Chakras. Energy work. Buddhism. Reading a great novel. DANCING. Writing and cooking as therapy. Learning about food and wine.
