Location Vladivostok, Russia
Introduction My husband, Douglas Rose, is a diplomat working for our State Department. Tashkent, Uzbekistan was his first assigned post. That was my first experience living overseas. His second post had us living in Munich, Germany, followed by his third post in D.C. We arrived in Vladivostok, Russia in September of 2018 and will be living here at least three years. I try to publish the first of every month; I almost always make it. I love comments and am trying to get better at responding to them. If you read my blog for the first time, and don't like what you read, try another post. Sometimes I write about my political views, sometimes about how I experience God, but not always.
Interests Writing, folklore, folk music, Sacred music, dreams, staying healthy while enjoying chocolate and Pepsi.
Favorite Movies THE RECKONING (w/ Willem Dafoe), REAR WINDOW(James Stewart/Grace Kelly), ENCHANTED APRIL (Josie Lawrence/Miranda Richardson), DEAD AGAIN (Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson)
Favorite Music Manhattan Transfer, Traditional Irish, The Rose Ensemble, The Baltimore Consort, Miriam Makeba, My students' playing and singing, Douglas singing to me, my mother singing (sorry, dad) and with all sincerity - anyone who just sings a song with no apparent reason - seanos.
Favorite Books IRELAND (Frank Delaney), THE PIANO TUNER (Daniel Mason), THE PRINCESS BRIDE (William Goldman), ANTHOLOGIES OF SHORT STORIES (Saki, O'Henry, Roald Dahl), THE OVERSTORY by Richard Powers

Lionesses have no manes. How do they know when they've grown up?

We live awake, we live in a dream and somewhere in between. How many places to live (levels of consciousness) are there in our minds?
