who & why
The name I carry is eQuanimiti joy , I often get the question, "Are you a Buddhist?" ... and my answer is "I'm a one-of-a-kind" which covers it I think, don't you?
I was raised up outside a city.

I spent most summers in farm country where I was looked after by my grandmother Marjorie and her six sisters, all with the first initial M to their names.  I was allowed to rattle 'round the barn, and play in the woods, and was expected to pick peas and beans and radishes from the garden for supper. 

I was also expected to show something for my day's time so I wrote stories, and drew pictures, and made up dances and songs to present to my elders in the evening on the summer porch after the supper dishes were washed and dried and put on the shelf in the pantry.

I went to college and graduated with a degree in English, then ran away to New York City to join a modern dance touring company and, over the next ten years, to dance with other famous and infamous modern dance choreographers.

As fate would have it I took a spill and I took a job with a computer magazine, putting that English degree to work and getting transferred from Manhattan to rural New Hampshire for one year.
That was 20 years ago and I still haven't gotten around to moving back to NYC, for you see, I started writing stories, and drawing pictures, and making up dances and songs again.

how & where

I live and work in the woods, above the town on the river, and walk a winding path through the straight tall, pines and hardwoods every day. 

I walk before I sit down to write and paint, then again when I am done.

I walk to thank the trees, and the water and the sky and the land for standing by me.

I walk to thank the Angels for their time.
