Bio
Oh I am what I am,
I'll do what I want, but I can't hide
I won't go, I won't sleep,
I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide,
I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
~Dido
The world's on fire it's more than I can handle
I tap into the water and try to bring my share
I try to bring more, more than I can handle
I'll bring it to the table
I'll bring what I am able
~Sarah McLachlan
am i headed for the same brick wall
is there anything i can do about
anything at all?
except go back to that corner in manhattan
and dig deeper, dig deeper this time
down beneath the impossible pain of our history
beneath unknown bones
beneath the bedrock of the mystery
beneath the sewage systems and the path train
beneath the cobblestones and the water mains
beneath the traffic of friendships and street deals
beneath the screeching of kamikaze cab wheels
beneath everything i can think of to think about
beneath it all, beneath all get out
beneath the good and the kind and the stupid and the cruel
there's a fire that's just waiting for fuel
~Ani Difranco
I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
~Dixie Chicks
Taken in Prague. My favorite foreign city.
-am a nationally published writer.
-read most anything I can get my hands on, especially poetry.
-am engaged to my high school sweetheart, who is my complete equal, keeps me sane and is my partner in crime.
-love walking around, usually with camera in hand.
-am completely smitten with Prague and everything about it.
-sometimes dance instead of walking.
-have three tattoos: two on my lower back and one on my wrist.
-love being in a darkroom.
-am proud to call myself a feminist.
-always have a million and one writing projects simmering in some form.
-collect postcards, photos, t-shirts from various bookstores, and anything associated with the word love.
-still trying to sort myself out.
