I didn't trust it for a moment,
but I drank it anyway,
the wine of my own poetry.
It gave me the daring to take hold
of the darkness and tear it down
and cut it into little pieces.  

--Lalla, Contemporary of Hafiz  

Raising my children.
Working at a job I love.
Trying to learn how to be a good single mom
being an active and empowered community member
Loving my friends and family
Trying to catch my breath from this year of unbelievable upheaval

Loving well.
Walking my path as a human being wth as much integrity as I can.
Being a fierce and loyal friend
magick, manifestation, ritual
singing
swimming, teaching others to swim
igniting passion for the arts in children through theater
Community Building
surviving

I really don't know. I suppose context would be important to answering this question.

"The Fifth Sacred Thing", and "The Kin of Ata" are two books that are held with great reverence in my house. Beyond that I am an avid reader, my tastes can be varied and fleeting. I am likely to be reading anything from James Joyce to Distopian sci fi. I am usually reading more than one book at a time. Right now.....The Red Tent, Hold me Tight, and Swimming Anatomy.
TV....not so much, although I have liked some series stuff on DVD or netflix. Weeds, Big Love, Lost(until the ending). I am currently a little obsessed with streaming Ted Talks (does that even count as TV?)
Movies...well I liked Zeitgist, and What the Bleep. I think my favorite movie though is Like Water for Chocolate. I do cry during movies, and am sometimes moved by sappy and cliche' I am not particularly fond of predictable action flicks, or humor for the masses films. (didn't like "The Hangover")

My family. What else can say about that. They are what it's all about

Water! I'm a swimmer, my profession is aquatics, my family (also all swimmers) life revolves around the pool. It's my zen place. Remember when you were
a kid and playing hide and seek
or tag and you could run to that tree, or wall or whatever and touch it and you were safe, no one could touch you. That's the water in my life. The place I can breathe(yes I recognize the irony of that statement), where for a moment it's all ok no matter what it's like elsewhere.

Music. I'm a singer. It's been such a part of who I am for so long I can't even imagine what life without music looks
like.

Dirt. None of us can live without dirt (: I really like to play in it, watch stuff turn into it, make things grow out of it that people can eat, or that is medicine.

Chocolate. I suppose I could actually live without it, but who'd want to. The darker, the better! In fact Ivr been know to just chow raw cacao beans.

Books. Admittedly, I'm a pretty hard core bibliophile, with varied tastes and moods.

Why. How. Who. Where.

Hanging with my awesome kids and their posse. Spending time with my "besties". Preparing to go to a swim meet.

I'm pretty open, and honest to the point of it being a liability. Ask me anything and Ill answer or Ill tell you to mind your own business.
