ABOUT ME

i am 25...Now I am 31...I am updating my profile...and am going to leave what i wrote 6 years ago, and edit what needs to be... as it still, all, rings -so true.
sometimes i feel older, sometimes younger...sometimes neither...
i truly feel that everything...that art is life, life is art...art has no definitive definitions, life has no definitive definition and no boundaries. the pre.concieved boundaries that are strategically manifested are merely illusions, but the binds and impact it has on people's authentic and innate, natural ability to recognise pure and true joy become tangible.
and i feel, from the movements in my life and my own realeyesations that people...everyone...can and is/are able to remember the real and true art of living...if i can help someone open to this, open to this recognition...i feel graced with a kiss from the depths of life...though it is not my place to peel back anything for anyone nor am i trying to save anyone...nobody needs to be saved, just trusted and listened to...myself included...if i can bring something to someone, to many, and recieve what other's bring to me...i feel truly alive..
so~
i am going on a trip with my art and my dog (and my dreams). i donated my car to an automotive program at a school and she's almost road.ready...im going to bring my art and my music, my books and my rhythm...and go with it.
i posted this above in february when i got back to maine from asheville, nc and was heading out on the road. after and through much moving.experience, much depth and discovery, exuberant sights and connections...i found myself in maine for the summer and out here in albuquerque now. i am going to nmsnt, really feeling a lot out in this beautiful area of the earth...and i am going to be here for quite some time, as my school goes through mid october of 09. so, my idea is to create a space for others to come and stay, to be welcomed in and to feel comfortable on their travels. though i've had intense impulses to get back on the road, im traveling a different road right now and want to open my home up to others who are on their road. i've just gotten into a comfortable living space for myself and my dog and am hoping to have it open for people passing through in a couple weeks.

PHILOSOPHY

life within us is life all around us...we can create anyhting we desire...trusting life has been and will be a continuous lesson for me...but when doing this, so much opens up. i feel there is only connectivity, only passion and truth...whatever it may be for me, for you...
basically...
let your fears teach you...
be honest and open and speak...
create what you can and love what you can...
let it flow
