To my dance Sister!
You are beautiful, intelligent, talented, funny, quirky, silly and a damn awesome dancer! Not to mention pretty handy with a needle and thread! *giggle*Just wanted to let you know that having you in my life as a friend and dance partner has inspired me to be a better dancer and bigger dreamer! Our first time out as a duet was...what can I say..............magikal! I think Elevations will be my fondest memory of our sojourn along this slik road we have just begun to travel ! I know this is only the beginning of our amazing journey that lies ahead. Thank you for being a part of one of the greatest nights in my life! S October 11, 2007

Some bits of my poetry for those who asked. This is from several years ago, back when I used to write and was actually pretty decent at it.

According to Egyptian belief, a scarab amulet was placed over the heart of the deceased because the heart was one of the few organs not removed in the embalming process. Often on the underside of the amulet, Spell 30 from the Book of the Dead would be inscribed... read more

Meteor Shower Stars are distant fires, and an unfed fire must at some length go out – its fury, its comfort, is its impermanence. In the frozen park, we watched the stars cast their children to earth, bright seconds every one, extinguishing pre-impact. Why are you here? he said, I said I wanted to see rain, if this thin flame could... read more
