SOUL  

I was born with the sunrise on a late June morning. Even now, dawn is still my favorite part of the day, the time of transition between dark and light when everything is possible, and the new day holds nothing but mysteries.

I've had a fairly happy childhood growing up in a small northern town of New-Brunswick, Canada.  Most of my childhood years were spent daydreaming about the future, about how great an artist or a writer i would become.  Never once did it enter my mind that i could be anything else.  I've loved books since very early on.  I remember as early as 5th grade, i went searching for my mother's Harlequin Romances when i had nothing left to read  (You now know how i got my sexual education ha!).  Reading anything would content me for hours on end.  And, of course, experiencing the talents of all the best English, American, and Canadian writers made me fantasize about one day becoming one of them.

On rainy days, i was inside, sitting on the sill of my favorite window, reading.  On sunny days, i was outside, settled underneath my favorite tree, pencil in hand and notepad on my knees, drawing everything my eyes laid upon. Many years later, when i was fortunate enough to visit the London National Gallery, i spent hours gazing at Monet, VanGogh, and DaVinci.   They nearly had to take me out in a stretcher! ha!  Many people have told me that i am a very talented artist and that i should pursue it as a career, but i'd never want to consider art as work.  I sincerely think it would take all the fun out of it...

I've written poetry ever since i could put a sentence together.  I don't consider my poetry to be of professional caliber.  I just enjoy writing!  It soothes me when i feel sad, and keeps me high when i'm happy.

Today, i am 27 years old and am still the dreamer that i used to be as a child.  What do i dream about?  

  I dream about a world in which all people are treated fairly, despite appearances, differences, opinions, lifestyles, social standings, colors, shapes, sizes...

   I dream of happy childhoods without abuse or neglect,  of loved children becoming loved adults, for i strongly think that one has had to be loved in order to know how to love...

I dream about humans no longer taking advantage of our fellow animals, treating them with respect and kindness...

   I dream of peace and love...
