I am here for Friends

About Me

The Real Me:
I am the silence between my thoughts.. the space between my words.. the stillness between my emotions.. the spontaneity between my worries. I am peace. I am joy. I am love.
The Human Me:
I'm mostly a nice, fairly happy person that loves to laugh and be silly, but I'm not totally immune to this world bringing me down.
I love the outdoors, and warm sunny weather.. swimming, hiking, sunbathing, camping. Getting away from the clatter of society.
I love crafts. Creating things with my hands is my favorite hobby. A few of my things can been seen here: Sylver.Etsy.com
I also enjoy capturing the world on my camera, and sometimes morphing it a bit:
xelopid.deviantart.com
I worship no specific (religious) god, for I believe that god exists in all things, everywhere, at all times. Just by living we celebrate god, whether we recognize it or not, for god is who and what we truly are =)
I love learning, growing, evolving, changing... sometimes just being... and I love to break the rules.

My Interests

needle arts - crocheting, knitting, sewing; hiking; snowboarding; camping; meditation; yoga; crop circles; ETs; conspiracy theories; quantum theory; numerology; mayan calendar; 2012; pyramids; oriental dance; hypnotism; magic mushrooms; taking pictures; and plenty of other things
