CURRENT MISSION

As estrelas no céu correm; Eu também quero correr; Elas correm atrás da lua; E eu atrás de bem-querer

ABOUT ME

I grew up as a musician. Now I focus on the psychology of art, working towards becoming an Expressive Arts Therapist. I love discussing philosophical and social issues, learning about other cultures.... or not! Or just have fun sometimes & celebrate life!

PHILOSOPHY

Ebb and flow are both necessary; I listen to the universe for when my life's tide changes and try not to force it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen gay couples get married. I've seen a double rainbow over the Bay connecting San Francisco to Oakland. I have seen hundreds of beaches, freshwater and saltwater, none of them alike.

Teach, Learn, Share

When in doubt, give. When anxious, practice empathy. Do not be afraid of trusting symbols that recur; an uncanny chaos controls our lives & must be respected. The element of surprise creates innovation.
