About me:
Im an artist in acrylics, oils and textiles. Im a psychology graduate and Im also doing a MSC in psychological research methods and I want to do a PHD in Life Sciences. I am home educating my 2 kids. I am interested in zen buddhism and how meditation effects our minds. But my main love is science, natural history and fantasy (especially art). Im also interested in human rights and protecting the environment and enjoy campaigning on these issues. Click on pics to see a small portion of my artwork.
Who I'd like to meet: -Wanderer, who are you? I see you go your way without scorn, without love, with unfathomable eyes; moist and sad as a sounding-lead that has returned to the light unsated from every deep- what was it looking for down there?- with a breast that does not sigh, with a lip that hides its discust, with a hand which now reaches out but slowly: who are you? what have you done? Repose here: this place is hospitable to everyone- refresh yourself! And whoever you may be: what would you like now? What will refresh you? You have only to name it: whatever I have I offer you!- ..Refreshment? Refreshment? O inquisitive man, what are you saying! But please give me-.. What? What? Say it- ..One more mask! A second mask!.. Nietzsche.....................................................................................................
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
-Late Fragment by Raymond Carver
Have you seen the medical effects of meditation? They do scans on peoples brains who are meditating, with interesting results. I really wonder what it can do for me. My mind is always going this way or that way.
