About Me

"Now, the danger does not lie in your conscious mind," he said. You understand and accept that what we've done was, as you said, the only hope. The danger lies at the unconscious level, over which you don't have control. That is why we have to control it for you, for the time being, until it too has learned to accept what has happened."

My Interests

living on the fringe, garden-planting, shelf-building, friend-making, backyard-swimming, recipe-concocting, bike-riding, organizing, frames, needlepoints, being by myself, being with others, being alone in a room when there are people or rainstorms in the next room, events, hotelephants, the egg shape, keeping in touch, coincidence, the all-in-one
