I think of myself as an easy going person with a bubbly personality. My friends will vouch for this! :)
I am sensitive, caring, and kind to animals, plants and people.
Having been born in Croatia and spent half of my life there, I then moved to England where I studied literature and now finishing studies in Buddhism - yet only beginnning to learn... I love to travel and meet new people. I consider it a blessing to be able to connect to others on a spiritual level which can result in a solid friendship.
I also enjoy being on my own absorbing things around me in a completely new place or places holding memories, and I have a deep passion for nature, reflected in my need to touch ageing trees. In general, I prefer quality life and good friendships to making money and being what other people tell me to be. I like to follow my instincts and be true to my real nature, while not harming anyone else and leading a fairly comfortable life.
Forest.
Thousands of tree-bodies and mine.
Leaves are waving,
ears hear the streams call,
eyes see into the sky of mind,
a half-smile unfolds on every leaf.
There is a forest here
because I am here.
But mind has followed the forest
and clothed itself in green.

Anita's committment to studying and understanding the Dharma, and to peacefully protesting against China's human rights atrocities in Tibet, and to exposing the truth thereof, are all commendable, and I applaud her for such.

A new season begins. I'm enjoying a lovely spring day in my corner of the planet... with wrens nesting in the wisteria. I hope you're having a great day too! Cheers, Jenny (Thubten)
