| Introduction | I love my life. I love where I live. And I am passionate about my passions. I love to dance. Necessary to live: music, piano, singing, writing, acting, painting. I have been fighting for and supporting the arts all my adult life. Since 2004, I have been working with other activists to end the Darfur genocide. I have traveled to Europe many times since my early twenties. Places I have been: many USA states including Hawaii, Montreal, Canada, Barbados, France, Spain, Luxembourg, England, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany - and have wonderful memories. My last trip was in May - June 2013 to Spain. I would like to travel to Europe and Kyoto, Japan. I love the southwest where I have visited Hopi, Navajo, Zia and San Idlefonso potters. Life is exciting and I intend to live it full-out to the end. B.S. and M.M., both in music |

"...And these for whom life has no repose, live at times in their rare moments of happiness with such strength and indescribable beauty, the spray of their moment's happiness is flung so high and dazzingly over the wide sea of suffering, that the light of it, spreading its radiance, touches others too with its enchantment..."
