Teresa is the most inspiring, intelligent, fun, beautiful inside-and-out womyn I have ever met.

Who else would do all these things with me?

Backpack barefoot, pre-sunrise through desolate, mountain wilderness
Get paid to be a “dance instigator”
Bare her soul through music, writing, living…or, any available medium
Be an inspiration for dreams and the future
Co-conspire…
Make art of the world
Giggle with children
Put up with my (lack of Spanish), and claim tutoring rights
Understand Iowa – enough said!
Explore the world
Give to anyone who has need…or, just to be nice :)

The world is a better place for having her in it

Much love from you soul Sister

Perspectives

La LLuvia (Rapa Nui)
By night I dream that you and I are two plants
that grew together, with roots entangled,
that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth,
for of earth and rain we are made. Sometimes
I think that we will sleep with death below,
down at the effigies feet, watching
the Ocean that brought us to build and to love

Federico García Lorca
Gacela of Unforseen Love


No one understood the perfume
of the dark magnolia of your womb.
Nobody knew that you tormented
a hummingbird of love between your teeth.

A thousand Persian little horses fell asleep
in the plaza with moon of your forehead,
while through four nights I embraced
your waist, enemy of the snow.

Between plaster and jasmins, your glance
was a pale branch of seeds.
I sought in my heart to give you
the ivory letters that say "siempre",

"siempre",... read more

Invoking the Uncorrupted Female Spirit
When I was a child I had the real female spirit. I did not think of my body as an object to be appraised by others; it was simply my body. It was the medium through which I felt the sunlight and the pulse of music, tasted, smelled and came into contact with my world. I did not see an image of my own body in my mind's eye. My body was not separate from my soul. Now I am in a state of constant awareness in respect to my body, as if it is a disobedient servant that I want to tame and control. I ... read more
