About Me

Although we are blessed by beauty all the time, nothing we have is truly ours.... everything is always in passing... existing with a semi-impermanence..but never truly going away
You Are Rowlf the Dog
Mellow and serious, you enjoy time alone cultivating your talents.
You're a cool dog, and you always present a relaxed vibe.
A talented pianist, you can play almost anything - especially songs by Beethoven.
