Be joyful though you have considered the facts. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable.

About Me


Resolution for 2007: Celebrate. Celebrate relationship, possibility, successes and the choice to be graceful in the face of failure.

Lots of things turn me on. Things like excellence. Beauty. Truth. Justice. Mercy. I never miss watching the Olympics. I love the theatre.
I care about lots of things. Loyalty. Noble behavior in the face of confusion and disillusionment. Community. Loving people. Receiving love. Hunting the truth. Seeking God. Being forgiven. Learning to forgive.

I make lots of mistakes. Some of them are really big.

I like the way it feels when I laugh. Low and rumbling so that all of the sadness shakes loose and dances away.
I could listen all day to little children laughing. God has a gift with sound, eh?

I like to walk. I think best when I'm walking. Especially if the air is crisp.

My Interests

Theatre. Hiking. Things I'm not smart enough to grasp. People who are smarter than I am. Books. Teams. Tribes. Beauty. Metaphor. One word sentences. The gossip section in the front of Parade Magazine. The love story of Elizabeth Barret and Robert Browning.

Dancing with Vampires

Her whole body was alert and tingling with fear.  The comforter had been kicked to the side but she was afraid to retrieve it, afraid to move, afraid that she wasn't fully awake.  Vampires.&...
