Little Bit
About Me
— me after an appropriately moorish trial
I am a lover that learned how to fight because I was given no choice but to learn how fiercely to protect my heart and boundaries.
I am a fighter that learned my weapons were words and wonder capable of decipherment healings.
I am a healer that learned I too needed a whole new wave of healing from traumas that would seem unfathomable to have received.
I am a wounded healer that awakened the artist in me.
And I am an artist that remembered I too needed love from near everyone I loved going their own way without me.
And in that end, where it is I now find myself, I am a lover that remembered why it is I loved myself to begin with.

Creative artist working across mixed media.
Some parts made more visible than others, but each integral in unfolding with the intimacy of my own soul.
I love wild foods, wild waters, and thriving ecologies.
Living a healthful life. Therefore, also examining the interconnected functions and processes that result in degrading or regenerating ecologies.

Top 20 Social Change Documentaries of 2012
A heart that has, out of bare necessity, renewed more times than most. And yet, embraces the lightness and dance that each unveiling makes room for as possible still.
Some of my favorite things:
Aesthetic cultural landscapes.
The stubborn persistence and cyclical reemergence’s of timeless traditions and threads. Creative lives, expressions, agency, and devotions.
New approaches in heritage dreaming.
Acknowledging mythos and how different elements permeate into matter through the mundane. Contrasted with the wonder that also arises through presence with the inevitability of sometimes unresolvable conflicts and nuances.
Liminality betwixt and between.
Within contrast, is valuing the needful nature for polarities that enable us to tap into greater depths illuminating imaginal meaning in this world.
