I am a spiritually grounded artist. I teach art in public school and practice in my studio. I have lost all faith in our government and am seeking alternatives, such as a move to Italy. Al Gore's speech yesterday on Martin Luther King day was magnificent, but of course it wasnt covered by the media. I am looking for a spark of hope in a dark, dark world.

Someone with like mind and spirit. Someone who is also ready to split. Someone who understands my rants and raves. Someone who has read the New York Times, loves Maureen Dowd, and can finish the crossword puzzle. Someone who can appreciate the fine art of preparing a lovely meal. Someone to lay down with and stay warm and safe.
