resumé

 

I tried to stop focusing on nature, but I couldn’t.  I like what’s going on under the ground.  Inside Out.  I see and feel the purity, the unaltered, the original, the uniqueness of the cycle of life.  You have what the Earth brings you.

Intuition plays a role in all my decisions. You have what the earth brings you.  Possibilities.
