| Introduction | i like to string things, knot things, wrap things, paint things, draw things, write things, plant things, juggle things, cut things and then glue them to other things. i have an organic garden. i am a strict vegan. a Zen Buddhist. i like textures and patterns and peppermint tea. i like to sink my feet into the slippery-softness at the edge of a river and find branches and other treasures with my toes. i pay close attention to what my dreams reveal to me. i gather inspiration from the openness of the trees, the song of a bird, the whispers of the river, and the nurturing spirit of the earth. i believe that people are inherently good but that money has confused life’s purpose for many. i believe that happiness is a choice. i believe that in order to move forward as a people that we must move backwards first and learn from those that were here many, many moons before us. |
