My higher power, my grandmother,John Lennon, Dalai Lama, MC Escher, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Shakespeare, Charles Darwin, Bettie Page,Princess Di, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,
any artist that has sung a song, painted a picture, or written words that move me.
Yes, I know that most of the people I would like to meet have already died, unfortunately. It's also true that all of the good people worth knowing leave their traces behind. It's called LEGEND...and that's something that lives forever!
I'm always open to meeting genuine people who are enlightening to talk to, artistic, passionate, honest, or intriguing in some other fashion.
