Dryad
Profile Information
- About Me/Us:
- I am a poet , a painter; a dancer, a dreamer, a dryad and
mountain spirit ; a disciple and cohort of the Muse; dwelling
in the enchanted green hills of Southern Oregon.
A life-long learner, and constant questioner, I have found a little bit of heaven on earth. They called it: Google, and it was Good.
I am a visual artist, a published writer and poet and have recently retired after fifteen years as a senior editor of a large press nationally syndicated periodical. I have taught Early Childhood Education, Family Life, Children’s Literature and Poetry on a college level, Elementary School, Preschool and spent many years as a teacher of Creative Dance. I am a lover of laughter, language, learning and light, of mystery, magic, mountains and myth. I am also rather fond of alliteration.
I am one/108 Million Teachers of Peace
I am the mother of four phenomenal adult children and a circle of brilliant, beautiful daughters-in-love who are creative, committed, and conscious. They teach me constantly and reaffirm my faith in the future. They are living the change we all wish to see in the world.
