Art moves me, photography fulfills me, writing peels away layers to expose the very center of myself, dance gives me glimpses of stillness, desire inspires me, late night trips over Manhattan Bridge awaken my creativity, red wine takes possession of my senses and dissolves all my inhibitions, cinnamon scented candles arouse me, shameless passions always leave me hungry for more, love gives me moments of wholeness, center of darkness transforms me, friends keep me alive, lovers make me create, dusk...dusk unveils the truth
Artists, visionaries, muses, seekers, dreamers, healers, sensualists, modern Shivas and Shaktis, fellow water creatures (especially Cancers and Pisces), hopeful romantics...and beautiful souls to connect on this fire journey with
"When the mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey."
