Teacher-- of yoga, of reading, of __________

peripheral vision

laughing until it hurts, walking the brooklyn bridge, eating ripe avocados, exploring the jigsaw of the mind, meditating, letting life surprise me and on occasion bite me in the ass, writing feverishly or pretending to write, enjoying vino tinto while looking into someone's face, avoiding the word "interesting", being around kids

poems by mary oliver, steven dunn, kunitz, komunyaka, lucille clifton, dickinson, oy the list is too long. housekeeping, for the time being, autobiography of red, nine gates, oy the list gets too long.

any movie that widens my lens and helps me forget and remember who i am.

besides the spheres, you name it: anything you can groove to, with a lovely beat. the goddess nina. opera, since i was three years old. the reverend al. my dad's beautiful voice. singing in a dome.

when the t.v.'s off and the screen reflects whatever's in the room. don't have one.

i spend my day living life. it's a fulltime job (with health benefits). i get high off standing in the front of a classroom. i love to dance-- in the mind, in language, in the passions, in a crowd. writing here, i'm more tempted to let the blank space speak. or press the snooze button. i love the crack of dawn though i don't always see it. i try to speak my mind. i feel lucky to have been born human and to have this life, as the dalai lama says, to develop the heart. i like to laugh so hard i become asthmatic. laughter is my bible. i like that we all burp and fart-- common denominators. and...................cooking food. the glorious arts of creating and consuming.

i just noticed it wasn't 2004...so i thought i should update this. i want to meet anyone who is willing to be less afraid of who she or he is. anyone who smiled at the "it's complicated" option in therelationship options of the friendster profile.
