When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?: I am a born activist

What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?: War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom

More: Hatred allows you to see a person or a group as not human, not a child of God, not of any value. It gives you permission to do violence, to oppress, to deprive. These actions start a cycle and soon innocent children are hurt, the environment is hurt, and YOU are hurt. You lose your soul and then hatred becomes your preferred response.

More about me: I have one grandchild and several other children who are very dear to me.
When I am with them, I feel total peace in the midst of all their activity. To them, I am Nana whose orbit is always full of love, listening, and magic. If I could be Nana every minute of the day with everyone I meet, I wonder how different my life might become.

I believe that what we call "Art" or the place we travel when we create is Sacred space and where we realize our interconnection. I would love to talk to you more about this.. but am preparing for a job interview , so I will paste below a poem I wrote on the subject.

All or Nothing

Some languages have
no word for Art
It is not a privilege

Art is for me in the
seeing and the doing.
The loaf of bread
whose smell connects us
the ritual cleaning of a fish

Art is only a frame
for a moment
an intention

Art is found between
in the mirroring
not the dissection
of the Real

Everything is art
or nothing
is Art
