Hail, and well met, fellow Cyber-Traveler.
It's taken me a while to do it, but you've found me at
a time when I am finally settled enough to talk a while. You see,
my life is fast paced, and somewhat 'strange'. So please, sit, relax, have
some iced tea and rest a while, perhaps you too may find connections to
my world. If nothing else, I'm told I can spin an interesting yarn.
I couldn't tell all there is to know about me, that would take all
the rest of my life, and neither of us has that much time. I won't
provide a resume, that's just not information for the whole world. Everything
I am is now and I will share as much of that
as I can:
I have more than one Name, you will be lucky to know
more than one of them at any time.
I am a Professional Dreamer before everything else. It's kept me sane,
it's kept me alive, it keeps me happy.
I am a writer, it keeps my dreams alive. It feeds the dreams of others,
and I've earned many friends through it.
I am a listener, the voice of others matters to me greatly. I don't
always agree with that voice, but I am willing to listen and defend
the right for that voice to speak.
I am a believer: One person can change the world. Even if only living
their life as right as they can as an example to others.
I am an Activist: If I am presented with a Cause, there is no
part of me that is not compelled.
I am very Spiritual, though not religous. My beliefs are my own through
Relearning. Describing all that I Know, and Love, and Feel, just wouldn't
do justice to all the wonder I hold True.
I have been a Silver Phoenix for ten years. My life shifted dramaticly
over the cold of a bitter winter that lingered much too long. I am
now Solar~Celestial Phoenix, BenuStar. Merit
Heru
My goals: To Seek, to Find, and to Know.
More mundanely:
I sing; I dance; on occasion, I act. My favourite part being
Katarina. (The Taming of the Shrew)
I am an amature Egyptologist. I study heiroglyphs,
history, and Religon.
I am an avid reader and researcher.
I am working on a book based in Egyptian Religion and history.
I am working on one fantasy novel, and several short stories on this
website. I hope to help, incite and inspire others to write, and write
well. I know I'm not The Greatest, but it doesn't stop
me from the work I love.
I'm something of an artist, I sketch, and I made a lot of the graphics
on this website, like this backround. I design Webpages. To me they
are a wonderful window to the soul, and a fantastic way to be published...
without the agony of a publisher.
I Role Play, online at Legend, and in my real life: WhiteWolf (Mage
and Werewolf), and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. On occasion, Magic The
Gathering.
I do not: Drink, smoke, do drugs of any kind, or abuse
anyone. I have a very busy, happy, and full life that needs all the
attention I can give it without tangling it up any more than it needs
to be.
Mara's Ma'at : The
things that make up me.

There is No One
Truth, Truth is a Perception
All or Nothing.
The Open Hand.

Never Break a Promise.
Never Make a Promise You Can't Keep.
What You Give Out, You Shall Receive Threefold in Return.
If it Harms None; Do What You Will.
If not Acceptance; Tolerance.
Never Lie.
Never Cause Tears With Intent.
Nothing for Pride's Sake Alone.
Every Moment Counts.
Respect is Earned.
Nothing By Chance, Everything Happens For a Reason.
No Such Thing as Coincidence.
