I reentered this world by way of Munich, Germany (und mein mater). This was on the winter solstice, during the full moon, at dawn . . . (which may mean absolutely nothing to you). By age 18, I opted to become an American citizen. My background (besides music and fine art) is primarily journalism, including broadcasting and photography. The concept of Verborgen came to me as a dream. |
