CURRENT MISSION

Transcendence. Growth.

ABOUT ME

I'm moved by random acts of beauty. I write poetry and I take photographs. A real classy dame who can do lighthearted and/or deep and cerebral. I love to eat well. All about being all up in this world. Thrive on seeing the places, meeting the people, and connecting with the nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is just life. A statement I find to be both so simple it borders on trite, and so profound I can think on it for days. We are blessed to be here and engaged in life. We are blessed to have life. To have breath. It's incredible to think that we actually don't know (for certain) how all of life began, what the purpose of it is, and where we go once it's over (or if it is actually ever over!). We don't have concrete answers to any of life's biggest questions, but yet we still take joy in the experience of it. When thought of this way, a lot of what we fret about starts to look quite inconsequential. We are here to experience. And yes, while fear is a mechanism we have to keep us alive...it's a bit sensitive, and we needn't let it keep us from living to the fullest. Our dreams make up the essence of who we are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, maybe by sleeping on your couch! And once I'm done being a vagabond and have a couch of my own, maybe you can sleep on mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any couch surfing experiences yet, but hopefully this summer!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Art film, campy cult classics, not so classic campy cult film, classic classics, David Lynch, and more...

Music: Either move my feet, my heart, my mind or my soul--neo-soul, lo-fi, hip hop, triphop, jazz and rock and roll.

Books: Poetry, philosophy, experimental fiction, non-fiction, literary journals (love the Paris Review), Classic erotica, and although not a genre of book, found notes/letters are whimsical documents that I take pleasure in.
