About Me

"Each night, the Moon kisses secretly the lover who counts the stars."(Rumi)"One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both, are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do."~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D. (Artist: Lucy Campbell)"I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees." ~ Pablo Neruda

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people who dwell in possibility....(Artist: Núria Castro)"There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction ... I don't do drugs, I am drugs." (Salvador Dalí)

Books:

"There are books in which the footnotes or comments scrawled by some reader's hand in the margin are more interesting that the text. The world is one of these books." ~ George Santayana

Heroes:

"I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind." ~ Emily Brontë
