Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. ~ W.B. Yeats
Earth child, poetic, nurturing. Dirt lovin' tree hugger.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. I am happy with life as it presents itself (most days)...and cherish the times I have with family and friends.
I'm a tree hugger, I drive a Jeep Wrangler (I work out of the house, so that enables me to have a vehicle that's not so "green"), and I love the Grateful Dead.
My Philosophy
Live well, love unconditionally, laugh often.
What Gives Me Hope
Cancer Survivors - they are the most positive, enlightening people I know.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Fire all the existing politicians who don't give a d@** about the environment and plant a bunch of trees.
What/who changed my life and why
My Aunt Penny. Through trials that would bring most people to a screeching halt in life, she smiles...genuinely, from the heart. My Mother. With the patience of a saint, she gives so much of herself to our family with such a quiet grace: a model of unconditional love. My Father. The provider of so much while asking so little. Quietly shouldering burdens that most would shy away from. I have no words that can even begin to describe the lessons I have learned from my family...love, patience, virtue, determination.
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
