poetics, scratchy voices, the sound of fingers pickin' strings, drums, cats' meows, rainbows on cloudy days, live oaks covered in spanish moss, smoke from campfires (white rabbit, white rabbit), mp3 players, perspectives, soft rain, hand painted road signs, little-known histories, late night conversations, pretties that shine, rivers that twist, the difference between aligators and crocodiles, your moment of zen, yoga, stuff that transforms, textures and patterns, funky driftwood, rocks and stones, hand-rolled tibetan incense, flowering trees, clean corners, dusty alleys, old pictures, stolen moments, the smell of good food cooking, free food in the woods, full moons, loooong festival weekends, music floating 'round trees

People who buck societal norms. Visionaries and Idealists.
About me: “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” ~Jack Kerouac
Simple things excite me. Garden's green abundance and cacophony of scents elate me. The changing of the seasons brings me joy. Birds coming home to roost makes me clap my hands, and sunshine slanting through tree branches will bring a secret smile.
Actually, I recently realized that I won't be satisfied unless I've gone as far as I can with my education, and have a doctorate degree. Don't know in what yet; I have to finish my undergrad.

Well, I wish I could go, but I've been one of the lucky people laid off in this whole resetion thingy. I don't think I'll have the gas funds to make it down to New MExico :( I wish they would bring the nationals up this way! Have you seen toast? Last I heard he was going to Florida.. I figured he would try to look you up.
