Performing Dreaming Singing Listening. Being kind in an unkind world. To be sincere with my words and actions. To live within the fire of the compassionate heart. To look within to live without. Live my dreams and to know my needs. Recognize beauty in the smallest, recognize illusion. Topper aka Big Head is my cat of 8 (going on 9) years. Lexington, Lexe in brief, is my dog of 4 years.
