ABOUT ME

I pretended to be a wolf and wrote books, plays and poems - and then I went to middle school.
I read hundreds upon hundreds of books and became a Storyteller - and then I went to high school.
I became a champion swimmer and began to learn teach and act for social justice, and then I went to college.
I joined a circus and studied youthful gullies on Mars and the beginning of the universe and then I became a farmer.

And now I am a farmer and about to become a traveler again and I would really love to connect with more farm and circus and faerie folk - so please feel free to send a message or letter or word of greeting.

I laugh a lot. I have a minor infatuation with apocalypses. I enjoy reading quietly and I'm a habitual dance-party enthusiast. I can touch my head with my feet while balancing on my hands.

I love sparkles, climbing trees, going on quests, meteor showers, marbles, being underwater, adventuring, roleplaying, rain, thunderstorms, space, piles of kittens, chess pieces, sea glass, rock climbing, berry-picking, apple picking, ninja training, handstands, chocolate, stained glass, fireflies, blacksmithing, spontaneity, wings, the ocean, bones, traveling, libraries, used book stores, Celtic knots, wolves, dance trapeze and lyra, sleeping in the woods, one-eyed toads, fiddle

It is unlikely for me to eat any animal meat or products unless specifically raised by me or by trusted friends and acquaintances.

PHILOSOPHY

So then I thought I'd make some plans but fire thought she'd really rather be water instead.
