Welcome to my space… pants are optional

I think I was born in an act of defiance. If I can’t drink coffee, read my books,  do art and have my own space I may very well scream – LOUDLY! I  believe in God but not religion; I have adopted the Buddhist way of life and find that it suits me to be peaceful and full of love. My poetry is my own, my novel sits in a drawer unfinished because it lacks a plot. I seek to throw off all constraint and come to know myself through insight, but with transcendence comes much emphasis on perfecting myself, so I choose to transcend without perfection. I allow myself to be flawed by not requiring the validation from others, because if I thought my value lies in merely being decorative, I fear that one day I may think that’s all I can be. Time will erode all such superficial beauty but what cannot diminish is the workings of my not-so-linear mind, my humour and my moral courage – these are the things I cherish.

Please enjoy my musings, my stream of consciousness poetry and prose and remember to be kind… the world can really use a lot of kindness right now.
