about

I'm a daughter of the wild winds.
My roots extend into Spain and Italy. My youth unfolded in Australia, I lived in England for 12 years, then atop a mountain in Montenegro for 5 years, and now, returned to England, on the edge of Dartmoor.

I soak up life through travels, arting, befriending the shadows, culture, astro-psychology, the written word, and heeding the incessant caw and hum of nature.

I
think philosophically
create emotionally
love passionately
read voraciously
seek contemplatively
feel deeply
cook spontaneously
learn constantly
live mindfully

"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul."

Pablo Neruda

If you take the road up my way, you will likely stumble across a dishevelled me, with camera or gnarled stick in hand, being shadowed by a pixie child, stray mutt, or insolent raven.
Otherwise I'm huddled within, with paint brush, needle, pen, laptop, or book.

I've embraced imperfection, over-use hyphens, drink bucketfuls of tea, ask questions, invite simplicity, take in too many stray animals, cry easily, believe in 'a room of one's own', and still feel nostalgic over my lost 1970's typewriter.

I walk my tao.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
This moment is everything.
