learners and teachers, people who create, people who will sing my favorite songs with me. Ones who like to sit and chat and ones who like to jump up and play. And most definately my RAA peeps....

I like to read a lot, but I don't have a lot of time so I fall asleep and it takes me forever to get through a book. But I love Richard Bach, James Alexander Thom, Deepok Chopra, The Celestine series, A Walk in the Woods was both informative and hilarious, so was some book called The Builders Secret.. both brought me to tears I laughed so hard. Like some kiddie books too; some are very cool. And there's one called Prince Ombra that is a simple write, but it makes the world look very different; that book changed my life many years ago. When the Comet Runs freaked my shit and I've been paranoid ever since. However.. I probably was even before I read it cuz well.. I picked it out, ya see. Oh and there is Ken Carrey.. holy fuck. Starseed Transmissions and Return of the Bird Tribes. Nothing is ordinary.. no such thing as ordinary. Now I'm gushing so yea.. just rambling now.
Big C Dawg, my siblings and friendly-family, people who fight with swords that only cut away the webs that hold them back, people who sing with their soul, the fool who jumps off the cliff into the unknown.
