good question. i've spent a couple of decades trying to figure that one out. here's what i've come up with so far: i am creative. i need to express (and share) this creativity somehow. i am my best ally and own worst enemy. i cannot resist trying to find out the "hows" and "whys" of people, places, and things. where i live -- the space between -- is a place where i can be honest with myself and with those who know where i live. background melody: "who am i" by peace orchestra it was in "the animatrix" movie, in case you're feeling a sense of deja vu.
