| Introduction | Born in Chicago to musician parents, started writing poetry and stories as a child, had a good ear for music, loved to sing and dance. Truth-seeking quiet girl turned free spirit in the age of peace love art spirituality. Met my musician poet guy in college, got married later, still loved to sing and dance, had 2 extraordinary kids — we were all artists. We excelled in truth and silliness, creating art, communicating. Now I have 2 grandkids who excel in miracles. We love to sing and dance, and life is a poem. Music is everywhere. It’s all about joy. . . . and so I write . . . |
