- ABOUT ME:
I am currently pursuing an MFA degree in Creative Writing. Like my writing I am a work in progress. I try not to take life and myself so seriously, but most of the time I do. I find humor necessary for survival. I enjoy spending time with people that like to explore the gray areas—people that are honest about their flaws and their beauty. I have forgotten how to have a surface conversation; those filters seem to have evaporated. My favorite activity is processing life experiences, especially the shadows. Even though I am a non-fiction writer I have a passion for poetry and outsider art.
I find that Yoga sustains me. I struggle to be consistant with my practice. I try to live my Yoga on and off the mat. I have studied the philosophies of Yoga for 12+ years.
ACTIVITES:
Wandering around farmer’s markets, bookstores, art galleries, basements, diaries, beaches, second-hand stores, shoe stores, gardens, coffee shops, cobblestone alleys, backyards, Mac stores, wine cellars, Thai restaurants, airports, perimeters, yoga mats, temples, ashrams, graveyards.
INTERESTS:
All forms of creative expression—especially writing. The entire writing process—the creating—the frustration—the not knowing if it will or will not come together on the page—the adrenalin rush that happens when the deadline gets close and how that energy feels in my body—like an electric shock and somehow I write better from this place—of wildfire—and urgency.
Sun—I miss living in a climate where I don’t have to consume large doses of vitamin D to maintain my health.
My family, the ebb and flow of relationships. The complexities of being married, of being a mother, a grandmother—coming to terms with my age and energy level. Learning about time. Understanding that where I put my energy matters—choosing that which sustains and satisfies.
Boundaries and borders and how they shift as my perspective changes. Edges—peering over them –learning when to pull back and when to jump—learning that it’s OK to carry a safety net in certain situations.
Wide open spaces—landscapes—both internal and external.
Choices.
Collage—assemblage art—finding objects that appear to have nothing in common and discovering that they do.
Looking below the surface—the realization that things are not what they seem--that they never are--and the intrigue of peeling back the layers.
People—their stories—what they label as important--the human condition— understanding that what is not being said is sometimes more revealing.
Yoga--all things Yoga. I like engaging the complexitiesa and dualities of life and finding ways to stay sane in a very distrubed world. From my view point Yoga is life.
