about me
Fey imp w/ fangs in form of cuddly curvy mermaid out of water. When back in the water, whether ocean, hotspring, stream or shower, I am at one w/ the world, third-eye awake & happy. Feel the same way in creative flow; singing, making love- it's all eros. At home in various personas.
Not surprisingly, I'm a fiery Pisces: Pisces Sun & Mercury, Aries Venus, all in the 12th house. Sag Moon & Jupiter in the 8th, Aries rising. Mars in Gemini (hence the word-lust) Saturn in Cap at midheaven.

Life-long insomnia has led to a love for the nightime . Voracious reader. Have absorbed uncountable # of films. Write poetry in longhand & stick it on Word later. Getting back into creating, & working as a silkpainting artist, which was something I previously did for yrs. Love doing ritual theater & poetry performance, going to live theater & films. ADD isn't attention defict- it's attention difference- I loves me some tangents! Museums & libraries are nifty enviroments. They need more pillows, & later hours, but then, most places do. Tribal Jewitch. I had the privilege of embodying Lilith at one of our Witches Ball rituals- enormous fun & not that big a stretch. Singing is a great joy; often play music w/ friends. This being Eugene, there are endless cozy potlucks. I like the soft, partly cloudy days best...

8/07- For the last year or so, I've been increasingly sidelined by an old hip-joint injury that's thrown my body seriously out of whack, & causing chronic pain. I'm doing physical therapy, & other stuff- healing this is a major focus for now... & it's slow going. I want to get back to dancing, traveling more, hiking, camping, & the wild places I love. For now, those passions have to wait... but they're always in front of me, keeping me going.

Being Lilith- Witches Ball 2005

Personifying the Primal Fierce She of Judaic mythology for ritual theater was SO liberating! I LOVE Lilith!!!!

... Won't be around much till I get back from visiting my Dad in S. FL for a couple of wks. Not leaving for several days, but I'm very busy till then... including a 4-hr rehearsal on Sun. w/ the womens' theater group I've recently joined.
I'll check in a little here & there, but won't have much computer access.

Thinking of more Dad activities...We can go to the pool at his clubhouse, go out to eat a few times. I'm taking him to a hearing specialist one afternoon. We can see "The Bucket... read more

This email from The National Resources Defense Council was in my inbox today... thought it would be nice to share this much-needed victory for sanity & compassion... because we need to hear the good stuff, too.

<<< Fantastic news! A federal court in California has just imposed
the strongest-ever protections for whales against an onslaught
of military sonar.

The new controls are the result of an NRDC lawsuit that demanded
the Navy rein in its deadly sonar before beginning two years o... read more

Happy Gregorian New Year, everyone!!!

Some difficult family stuff is going down... but there is little I can do about it till Tues. So tonight, I went to a sweet potluck (yes, I know I'm always going to potlucks, but really, that's the way the social scene is here). At the home of woman I've know for a long time, a fine & prolific artist, who fell in love w/ a good friend a few years back. He's a great guy; they got married several years ago, & have a cute lil' girl who just turned 2. I h... read more

Literally. As w/ most leaders, she was imperfect, but was also a clear force for more openness & tolerance, a voice for the poor, women, & others who'd long been voiceless.
As a friend posted, I don't why I'm somehow in shock about her death...Bhutto was a threat to those who can see only one narrow, violently enforced path for us all. ... And they are, being fanatics, relentless.
Our U.S. dollars have more easily enabled nuclear weapons to be in one of the most volatile places on earth.

It's dark so early; this time of year is what I call The Tunnel... Tonight, I lit all the candles on my little Tree of Life menorah, & now they're merrily blazing away on the pale yellow table. Some of my earliest memories are of this holiday. It always seemed magickal... we all know the power of fire against the deepest darkness. Today was a quiet day, one in which I got some important tasks cleared off the list. In a short time, I'll curl up w/ the cats on the couch, to call a 14-yr old gir... read more
