| Introduction | Too big for most passenger seats, happy about small bits of color and large aspects of design, enormous curiousity about nature and all of its inhabitants, touched deeply but nervous about gentleness, does not fear 'the shovel,' nor 'the hammer,' sleeps like dead, glad to wake up, creative in a terrifying definition, shy about being noticed, open to the oddest things, love the strangest people. |
| Interests | I am very interested in how I found sushi and let it into my life. From that new ripple on the pond, let us backtrack to loving simplicity and loving complexity, enjoying the company of cast-offs, and exploring underworlds of life and spirit, throwing a shoulder against a falling wall, and in the process, wondering if I should have on my safety glasses, having an unusual yet traditional childhood that has made for an unusual but traditional adulthood, to seeking the presence of God after wondering if God exists. |
| Favorite movies | I can't work the DVD. And the last one I bought, I knocked over while trying to stand upright after putting two legs into one side of my pants. |
| Favorite music | Unfortunately I am a white woman who likes black music, and doesn't know enough about black music to say anything about it, so I keep this a secret. However, the greatest secret of all, which I have managed to keep most of my life is that I love opera. I love it for what it does to me. It removes me from my life, transports me to God, and cleans all the dirty garbage out of my life. It orders and settles me, and connects me to what I can not know, or explain. |
| Favorite books | I am reading every theologian who had a crack at writing. When I sneak away from that, I like to read murder mysteries, old cowboy 5 cent novels, and books about animals. I credit my mother with this. As well, I credit her with being able to read any paperback book in one evening, and then throw it on the floor, check the time, usually 3:00am, and say: 'on to the next thing.' |
