| Introduction | Life is so much more than a bio, a pithy paragraph. Professionally, we lists credits, to somehow prove that we’re more capable than another; artistically, we work to express inner visions, capturing personal desires while addressing what others want us to want, the truth being somewhere in between and still to come in your personal evolution. I'm proud of myself, not because someone else will find me worthy, but because my God saw fit to bring me into the world, like the rest of us, and looks forward to what I might conceive in Her image. It has always felt like an honor to be alive, to be in the midst of my evolution, thanks to the Creator. So all the human credits I've accrued, all the play and work I've enjoyed, all the relationships I've been so blessed to engage in, particularly my most Holy co-creations, my children: these are gifts from the Great Creator, who's Star achievement is Love. Our Spiritual bio matters most. Earthly credits reflect that. Knowing God to be All, I strive to model Love through the human being I have been called to be. My task: putting that into action. I write with Thanksgiving. |
| Interests | Art, culture, food, spirituality, animals, wine, family/friends |
| Favorite movies | Here are three from a very, very long list: Antonia's Line The Birdcage Baraka |
| Favorite music | Too much to list. Music often moves me more than any of the other art forms, namely because my household growing up was always filled with it. Life has a soundtrack. |
| Favorite books | So many, so varied. Myth, child/teen literature, plays, and spiritual non-fiction tend to be my favorite stuff. And poetry. Lots of poetry. |
