About Me: Born in the gateway to the west. Raised all over the state of Colorful Colorado (by the way colorado only has 3 colors. Brown, Green, and blue). We moved around a lot. My best, and usualy only, friend was my brother. I had a less than normal education, I have been public schooled, homeschooled, unschooled, correspondence schooled and private schooled. So I’d say I had a pretty well rounded education. I lived in St. Louis for 9 years where I built up my dance career and made a lot of great friends. I currently live outside of chicago and am attending school to become a nurse. I now spend my days reading, dancing, laughing (and sometimes snorting) in the face of adversity, living life, Not wearing shoes (ha! take that civilized society!!), and growing older (and hopefully wiser too). "Some days I wake up poor. The poverty of longing floods my consciousness with a hollow pain. The dust of regret is a bitter grit on my tongue and stings the corners of my eyes - even before I am out from under the covers. It is like waking from a dream of standing outside my own house, knocking and knocking, with no one answering." -Terrance Keenan, St. Nadie in Winter "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."- Dune You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act. - Barbara Hall, He lost his Self a thousand times a day and for days on end he dwelt in non-being. But although the paths took him away from Self, in the end they always led back to it." - Siddhartha (Herman Hesse) Buddha: If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.
