You are a glorious sea faring galleon. I am the tumultuous, ever changing ocean. I will toss and turn you, guide you across ocean, and get you back home, but you cannot crack under the pressure of a little woman. You must keep your course.
You must go the distance.

You will find me.... at the SF Brides of March, at the Philae Temple and Temple of Juno, running barefoot in summer thunderstorms, or at Wim Wender's film Pina. You will find me hiking Half Dome or hiking across a Roman aqueduct in the south of France, dancing at a Goran Bregovic concert or music festival, delighting in a Louise Bourgeois sculpture exhibition or the de Young. You will find me considering the wonder of tidal pools, catching TED talks, playing hide & seek and ghost in the graveyard, sled riding & making snow angels.

You will find me riding the paradox.

Essential Caveat: I am never giving up the gift of play......
so you MUST have this essence too...

Sultry, savvy, siren seeks complimentary merman (one who is not afraid of soulful depths) for creative fires and luscious lasting love, and certainly amazing friends to join the journey.
May we all find our beloved....

I welcome a compassionate, hilarious, articulate, thoughtful, and loving mate and yes, more sweet friends! Ones who are caring for the Body Temple, living one's gifts, loving one's life. Filled with optimism & integrity... Those who are Cool in the head and Warm in the heart. One who is willing. One who knows that one in a million chances happen 9 times out of 10 when the heart is dedicated.

Wanna run neck in neck & side by side together?

Yes, I'm completely open to living the adventure/ dating from afar/ moving if I find the One..
Wouldn't you?

Co-creating, thought and beauty provoking, inspiring, liberating, keeping and rediscovering traditions... Dancing, designing, art making. Adoring my beautiful, hand-made, fun-filled life, (...I am not an actor, entertainer, or musician). But I'm enjoying it, feeling gratitude & happiness. Delighting in counting amongst my supremely talented friends - fellow creators, writers, designers, dancers, doctors, thinkers, & brilliant entrepreneurs who are witty, wise, thoughtful, compassionate and spicy souls....

I love living in my long lean dancer's body, my mermaid hair, my saucy humor and mischievous nature....

I live for European paced days: love to work & create in the world, yet savor delicious meals, relish a siesta, and dance a Hasapiko.

I adore ripe salted tomatoes from my garden, power tool projects, night-time skinny dipping, my legs in back-seamed stockings, silent walks on snowy nights...

Some favorite travels: the remnants of Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Ottoman Empire, the Aegean & Mediteranean, Anatolia, Istanbul, the Rhone Valley, the lavender fields of France, the Cote d'Azur, all of Italia, the Swiss Alps, Britain, Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, the Sierras and the Snake River.... Cross country trips....Oregon to Vermont & the Carolinas to California. Blue Ridge Mountains, Adirondacks...

Dancing with abandon, voracious reading, scintillating conversation, finding a way out of no way, hitting a straight lick with a crooked stick, remembering the lyrics, singing in harmony, drawing, costuming, sculpting, traveling, mischief!, finding beauty everywhere....

Burning flags. Burning bras. Calling it like I see it. Cutting through the red tape. Speaking volumes without a word, with just my hands and eyes.

Reveling in the curve of my Love's jawline and clavicle, hands, and scent. Sleeping skin to skin, coiled in deep dreaming.

Friends say: She is completely authentic, has an exotic goodness.
She lives fully, loves deeply, creates now. feels electric.
Apertura y entrega total a la vida. (I love my sweet friends!)

Moving my body and Creating!
Travel that reminds me of the kindness in the world...
Relationships that make me laugh!!!
Beauty....
Food that makes me moan....
Erotica, yes, but more so unbridled, soulful sensuality.
Moonlight.
Disregarding the rules...!

The invisible world, synchronicity, pleasure, desire, joy, dreams....
Our inter-connectedness with the natural world, solutions to seemingly difficult dilemmas, bio-mimicry, sacred economics, kindness in communication, but less time thinking, and more time living.

On any night I may be dreaming, soaking, dancing, laughing, reading, writing, roaming the hills, roaming the city, gazing at the cosmos, savoring the sweetness of living, jumping bonfires, in the company of genuine & amazing friends...

My Sun, Venus, & Mars are in Scorpio. North node in Sag.
