Love to draw, swim, be with people, play capoeira, read, be alone, be not alone, look, smell, all stimulating thought seeking more stimulus, calm.
When a child, I wanted to be a farmer. In ninth grade I took an aptitude test and they thought that my ambition to be a farmer was not consistent with my gifts. I'm not so sure, as I love to be outside and feel the light and sun and breathe the air. The time drawing is time in nature focused.
St. Francis and the Bird

White bird
St. Francis
annexed
by popes
and churches.
Your intimate domaine
cannot be absconded.
No, they may not
own your color
or thy song.
All is borrowed
from the earth
of the air
through the sun.
All shall return
and usher forth
again.
To dance
the timeless story
we stay the gods'
cheeks
rosy
pink
with our benevolent
human stain.
