Interests are varied and easy. I love my son, Baha'u'llah, as well as all of the other divine Manifestations of God of whom I've become aware, music, pleasantly placed words of ware and wisdom i.e. poetry (reading and writing it, people who thrill me to awakenings, indulgence...books etc. any other queries may be directed to me personally.
Music
Wilco,Mike Doughty,Ben Folds, Radiohead, Andrew Bird, Bright Eyes, Massive Attack, Iron and Wine, Otis Redding, Bjork, Air, Yo La Tengo,
Lemonjelly, Neutral Milk Hotel, Hooverphonic, Pedro the Lion, Blonde Redhead, Postal Service, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnnie Irion, indie,old school,new school, and the list goes on and on and on. Music consumes me and I haven't the time to enter hundreds of bands/groups!
Movies
Waking Life, Amelie, Legend of 1900, Cinema Paradiso, City of God, City of Lost Children, Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Zero Effect, I Heart Huckabees,Baracca, CQ,
Harold and Maude, anything by Hao Myazaki, Run Lola Run, Boondock Saints, High Fidelity(because I'm a music snob), I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (Wilco), (anything by Miyazaki), Charlie Caufman (sp.)movies Such as "Adaptation" and "Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind". Princess Bride, Rivers and Tides(about Andy Goldsworthy), Koyanisquatsi and entirely too many more movies that the average Joe won't even watch.
Television
Not much to say on T.V. I refuse to get cable for at least 742 reasons not the least of which is the fact that it zombifies me the way it does most people. I do love ETV, the "Family Guy," early "Simpsons" but not the earliest, "Lost", "Twenty-Four", "Heroes", "Firefly"and a few other shows on the basic networks but none appear readily in my mind. My stereo is on most of the time. I prefer DVD's due to the fact that I can watch them anytime my "elitist" ass so chooses.
Books
"Kitab-i-Iquan", "Paris Talks", "One Common Faith", "Century Of Light", "Some Answered Questions","Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (well, anything Hunter S. Thompson), Most of Tom Robins, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", L.O.T.R trilogy/"Silmarillion", "My cousin, My Gastroenterologist", "Et Tu Babe", "Tao Te Ching", "Chronicles of Narnia" (the dedication for "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is the most beautiful one I have ever read), anything: Emerson, Poe, Whitman; as well as a veritable plethera of short stories. Stay tuned. More to come later kids.
Heroes
Obviously my son, Baha'u'lah, Abdu'l Baha, my grandfather, family in general, poets, lovers, musicians, TEACHERS, artists and other free-thinkers with the sack to stand for open-minded originality despite personal risk.

About me: I enjoy all that my son has to teach me. We play music (well we try). These days music and dancing time are mandatory modes of active play. We learn Spanish juntos(together). Absorbing music enriches my soul and brain. These things force written words out of my core and onto anything available. I love to read but, being a writer I obsess over the specific words chosen. Therefore, I hate to skim for the general idea. Style and articulation are almost, or possibly even more important than content. I love wit in any medium including conversation. For more information,

My beloved friend, it is my most fervent prayers for you, that as it is in the spring time, a time of renewal, rebirth and glorious new beginnings, so shall it be for yourself and all of your undertakings. May your experiences be that of the most perfect peace, joy, love and compassion always. Be well my beloved.
My beloved friends let me share with you my thoughts on love, for awhile now I have been contemplating love and how come I am now able to love so utterly and completely and I have come to the conclusion that this phenomena started to unfold when I realize that I existed on two level one on a spiritual and the other a material or the world of form and my being in the here and now would have been at my choosing and the question I asked myself was why? Why would I willfully leave the spiritual realm , where my natural state of being would have been that of utter and complete bliss to reside in the physical world of form to utter and complete suffering and only one answer comes to mind love, it is because of our love for each other that everyone of us that walks this plane of existence chooses to and I have thus decided, until we all remember why we are all here to hold each and everyone in the innermost part of my heart with the most potent of intention that of unconditional love until you remembers that this is also your intended purpose of being, so my loved ones make it your sole intention today to be a little more gentler, compassionate and understanding of each other as also yourself because we are why we are here. Truly in love and light Erica
They are taking it hard. Her kids are not dealing with it very well. Time will help but you never really get over it. It is very sad all in all. I am sure they appreciate all the prayers.
To my beloved beautiful friend, it is with the most fervent prayers and love that I set my intention for each of you my beloved, to experience the most perfect peace, joy and harmony in the unfolding of the New Year and beyond.
In this most potent time in the history of mankind a dawning of a new day, a new humanity, I enjoined with all of my human family my divine love so as to raise aloft our collective vibrations to illuminate this beautiful planet that we inhabit as our home to come together in love and unity to establish and experience our divine Oneness. Be well my beloved. Truly in love and light Erica
TY. Afraid I need a translation but TY. How are you doing? We are trudging trough the last bit of this semester. My brain is tired. This has been by far the longest, most diffucult semester yet. The subject matter has been so very intricate yet connected. I am working through the break in PACU to try to see some of what I have learned first hand and hope that it helps me with finals. I am more of a hands on learner but all we have done this time is read. I think my ass has permant marks on it from the library charis! LOL! I hope you are well. Spenging lots of time with your lil man.
Dying while still living My beloved friend let me remind you about the beauty of having existed, for most of us we would spend a life time creating experiences of regrets, unhappiness and non-peace just to name a few not realizing that all of these life experiences is occurring because of the limits we have set up for ourselves, these perceived limits are the only death that can be experienced by anyone choosing at this time to experience humanness, because if is our thoughts that is our being? And I know it is, then how can there be limits? How can one stop being their true limitless self that which animates and create one’s imagination? That can only occur when we choose to stay behind the façade of limits as perceived and experienced from the context of our everyday life experiences of that which we can feel, hear, see, and touch we would then go on to create a template with these ideas that was not our own in the first place but was conceived for us. And for some we hang on to these ideology with such fervor and dogmatism without questions or reason of which we would then use as guidelines to create limits, it is from this transpiring and of the choosing not to be the creator of your own reality and have chosen instead to let outside sources create a reality for you, that limits is born and experienced and that in my humble opinion is where death can only be experienced by staying behind the limits of your limitless self. Be well my beloved and co-creators. Truly in love and light Erica
