A world of wonder,
Where mysteries remain
This magic place
Has not been the same.
We have sadly assumed this world
Is forever,
But if we do not change our ways
This world will be for never.
So please stand up for our waters
Before it is too late
We the earth mother’s sons and daughters.
Our oceans we celebrate!!!

hello! i have managed to incorporate my eternal woodstock nation spirit with the high tech 21st century world. i am an artist/writer/photographer, who dabbles in rhyme, and, sometimes, reason. my passions are my husband, who is truly the wind that ruffles my sails, animals rights, yoga…waking up in the morning. i find inspiration in too many things to list, and far too many more to remember. sketching, watercolor painting,poetry and photography are my ways of expressing joy and gratitude. from living with a chronic illness, i have learned the beauty of each day, and treat each as another sun salutation, and another chance.
