About Me

and so, i say, the story goes that one who listens often knows that one who gives will always grow and one who lives will free her soul that scarcity is fantasy abundance is reality that love is found so easily and patience is necessity in words i find my unity communally i feel free in freedom i am happy and happiness is where i wanna be. sincerity, my dear friends, is the key*********ariana

My Interests

small things made by skillful hands and clever minds. the place where ornate antiquity meets natural simplicity. words and the multitude of ways we use them, bend them, shape through them this existence. the silence and how we use it, bend it, shape through it this existence. the juxtaposition of certain colors and shapes. small wing'd things. talking to myself. laughing to myself. tickling babies.
