About Me ah words..
place your forefinger lightly against your thumb.
What are you holding?

We are all so different and still in ways similar.
If there is light I try to strengthen it, reflect it.. and when there is dark I try to face it.... remember it.

who is touching your thoughts?

I moved to alaska when I was two & later lived in germany for 5.5 years ~ growing up there amidst a world where castles & castles' ruins seemingly were on every other hillside. /// At 20 I wrote an article in an underground newspaper about buckminster fuller's "World Game" -- which, he said, showed the best understanding of what they were trying to appear in the press..
