I am daunted by the task of writing a description of myself in a couple paragraphs, because I firmly believe that knowing who people are lies in the most mundane of observations. But who wants to read mundane observations . . . so here is some stuff about me. I consider myself a true pisces. Not just because I am incredibly sensitive and all that, but I love rivers, streams, the sea, and such. Hot baths are truly healing. It is when I am near the water with a good book in hand that I am at peace. This feeling is second only to that of being "in good company." The older I am, the more I value kindred spirits. As far as music goes . . . I can't remember a part of my life when I wasn't singing somewhere for something or other. I love to sing . . . especially when it is just spontaneous group singing - ok here I might have to explain that I spent a lot of time with theatre people and that this really happens, a lot. What I want in life is simply to learn, to love and be loved, to have some great moments, and for things to be mostly uncomplicated most of the time. I don't think this is too much to ask.
