We're all fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance!

About Me

Curious and inquisitive creature, am I. What fuels me? LIVE music, especially, and hearing something new and inventive which might express an emotion, common to all. I'm a sucker for a clever lyric which illustrates, simply and eloquently, a complex emotion or thought. Dance and music native to folk cultures, in all it's unpretentiousness and raw beauty and purity, can sometimes bring me to tears.I'm a nature girl who loves creature comforts, but can endure and celebrate the rigours of the out of doors just for the pleasures of being there. I must breathe deeply to enjoy life. It is my nature to plant things and to watch them grow, and it's absolutely necessary for me to get to the beach on occasion or I will suffer for it. Water is my element; I often dream of being able to breathe easily & comfortably beneath the surface. My animals and friends surround me and bring me much joy, and I love to ponder seemingly simple things at length and in depth. I'm independent, but a loyal friend, and I will remember your voice. The world is just beyond my port, and my boat will travel far.My spirituality is central to who I am, and I'm grateful to the Creator for gifting me with such a resilient spirit and for helping me to get up when I fall. It is very unlikely that I might give up when settled on a thing, although I'll listen to all points of view on an issue before deciding for myself. I rarely complain about the little stuff, and I believe in possibilities.

My Interests

Creative expression in the Arts, of various disciplines. I want to learn something new. The raw expression children give in the Visual and Language Arts, Music and Dance in their daily play. I love to see people do well that which brings them joy.

I'd like to meet:

You, simply as you are - no pretense.

Music:

Eclectic, enjoying many genres. Let's just say...
I have an aural fixation. Will you sing for me?

Get a Clock for your page!

Movies:

Surprise me with an unexpected plot twist and I'll smile real big for you! Films which illustrate human relationship in all it's varied complexity, and suspenseful, multi-layered complex story lines best keep my interest. Simple stories are rarely simple...

Television:

It doesn't own me. The tube has been off since May 2005, except for a couple of PBS programs here and there. Odd...since I've turned the thing off, I've met so many, many nice people who turn ME on (so to speak)!

Create your own Draw On Me

Books:

Yes, many (where to start...); will usually have three going at once. Well written books of many genres are what please me, just no 'pulp', thank you. I am moved to write poetry or the occasional short story when the Muse finds me. And I adore being read to - tell me a story, please!

Heroes:

It all starts with Mom and Dad. My folks are the best! The person I'd most like to emulate would be my Dad's sister - simply the most gracious person I've ever met on this planet! Also, my heroes are those who overcome in the face of great odds, and in a creative and ethical way (this list is increasing..here..and there).
