You should know from the start that this is a vibrant person, actively embodying the spirits of nature and the wonders that are beyond description in this world. She is the rare gem who has managed to remain a a flying swirling spirit in a world (and a city; NY) that often attempts to tether you to earth bound restraints. She has inspired me...to feel empowered against the crappy people who would hold others down and she has inspired me to dance with the music on loud instead of feeling sad, stripped of power, and depressed. I keep what I gained from her awesome example in the rural town where I now live- when I stand up and discuss gay and lesbian rites while surrounded cornfields and cows and people who would never think on these issues (even the democrats) that is her that helps lift me up and feel less alone while speaking. Without doubt, she is a blessing to my world and to THE world. Now let's raise the damn volume on the music and dance.
