ABOUT ME
I'm just a poor girl with a heart full of love. I am always on a quest of some kind and filled with questions. I am pursuing a future in counseling, informed by my deep love and appreciation for depth psychology. The Argentine tango has a very special place in my heart. I care deeply for animals. I resonate naturally with a poetic sensibility. I love stories and am amazed by dreams. Awe is one of my very favorite feelings.
PHILOSOPHY
Today pour the full cup.
Slap the wheel already spinning so frantically.
This wine is invisible, yes, but the effect is not.
I ask one more thing
from the love that has given us
this dear time talking together.
Lift the veil from the face of the king.
Why open a rosewater shop and keep the garden secret?
You have set the river flowing,
Now toss the ducklings in.
We are the first double-leaf sprout,
two inches out of the ground.
We need rain, or we may not grow more than this.
Cynics on all sides say,
You look for what does not exist,
and saying that, they steal laughter from the fool,
and music from the lute player.
I want these words to stop.
Calm the chattering mind, my soul.
No more camel’s milk.
I want silent water to drink
and the majesty of a clear waking.
