about me
The Stuff of my being; I am on the beautiful path of awakening and discovery**I am a student and a teacher**I am reveling in my loveful mid-life with family, friends and animals in the high adventure that is my body-being**I am learning how not to choose stress and how to choose flow**I am weaving my part of the web of womyn**I have an ongoing love affair with nature** I am a gentle dreamer who seeks deep peace through meditation**I find peace in water**I am a seeker and a journeywomyn**I awakened to the Goddess while my children blossomed in my womb, and now feel her spirit in all that I create; art, poetry, ceramics, laughter, tears, love, fears and ultimately self-healing**I am an open, loving playful visionary who loves to stand in the fire of change**I enjoy and celebrate the change of seasons**I am discovering the Goddess within**I am a wise womyn of water coming into cronehood joyfully**I am concerned with bringing out the best in myself and others**I am creating my life as it creates me**I feel blessed and I pray to keep honoring and tending to the creative fire within**I am dancing under a vast, vast sky, floating, dabbing, swinging, changing, rearranging, being and listening to the spirit**I find the Goddess under stones and tall grasses, in the mountains and in the waters. There are angels everywhere**I surround myself with animals, children, flowers, crafts, yearning to express the magic of life and death through my process of creating**I am a womyn deeply inspired by the divine femimine in all her forms and through her graces**I have 43 years of experience of dancing on my limitations and ever-increasing capacity for joy**I am becoming my Goddess-self with the help of children, friends, animals and the universe

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.

Sometimes we get caught up in wishing we were different.
It's like we have a bad case of the "If only's": if only we had her gifts or looks, if only we had her ability to make friends, if only our relationship hadn't ended that way; if only the boss had given us a second chance; if only we had gotten sober sooner.
The "if only's" keep us spinning our wheels, running in place. They hold us fixed i... read more

The question of violence and danger in society occupies a lot of time, breath, and printer's ink. The possibilities of peace and safety take up very little. It is common for us to think of containing violence by greater violence: the violence of weapons, of prisons, of riot squads. And yet the teacher whose wisdom we prize above all others tells us that one cannot answer force with force; that only peace and detachment can meet violence and draw out its poisons.
