Well what am I all about? I've got an interest in almost everything, at least for a little bit... or until it no longer holds me riveted in someway. I'm 43. I'm female. I'm a mom, grandma and aunti. I'm a formerly reformed "hippie chick"... that would make me a hippie chick once again... or ? the reformation never really took. ;)
In nature I feel whole. This is when things make sense and click. I love camping, fishing, cooking, making things, listening to music... |

what kind of music you say?>> old bluegrass, old string bands,

opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos." ~D.H. Lawrence  |
night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~e.e. cummings, 1955  |

names given Him by people here and in all parts of the world. Even if we gave Him no name at all, He would still be there, within us, waiting to give us good on this earth." ~George Washington Carver  |
the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God." ~George Washington Carver  |

*Spirituality*... hmmmm the only thing I can say about this in regards to my own is that I've experienced way too many wonderful, strange and several creepy things for there not to be something going on underneath this all.
It's an inspirience for me. Thoughts about these types of things are so personal, preachings are meaningless without the freedom to find out for yourself. |

everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself." ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal" |
the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.” ~Simone Weil "when the Dalai Lama was asked about a westerner converting to Buddhism, he said 'why not practice the one you have?' 'Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.'" ~His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama |

I am most def a child of the 70's. In my memories, I can smell the freedom. Riding my skateboard and doing wheelies off the curb on my sister's bmx till dark, sneaking out in the night riding bikes to keggers, taking off to get high in the mountains, chillin with friends listening to pink floyd or rush... talking bout living in the woods and peace and politics, watching old Twilight Zones eating mac and cheese munchies, going to Music Plus to get the latest albums or 45's, listening to them on my little suitcase record player...
I could go on and on... |
 *Music*... I love music... good music gives me the chills! When I was about 11 or 12 I started a book writing down every song I'd ever heard. And from that time on until about 14 or 15 I wrote down songs whether I liked them or not. Funny I started getting appreciation for songs I wouldn't have paid any mind to. From when I was about 13 I became a dedicated Zep fan. Man they just moved me. I don't think I ever was ever that way about a group before or after. When JB passed away, I was so broken up! I carved his name in all my class desks! I told anyone who would listen we should not have to go to school, we should be home mourning the lost of one of the greatest drummers ever! hahahhahaha I was gone over them guys... |
*Cultures*... I've always had a fascination for different cultures. I was (and still am) mesmerized by the fact different human beings over the world did different things for many different reasons. What were the reasons? I liked and like to dig deeper under the surface to understand our similarities as opposed to our differences. Maybe this was because of all the different blood running through my veins... but then again my bro and sis don't have this proclivity, soooo... 8^|
