A voice that's unheard at times...a person who's mostly offbeat and singular in thoughts and ideas. A dreamer, enthusiast, fighter, optimist and a keen observer...it's difficult to define me in few words. I believe every soul has a story to say. Life's for me is essentially mysterious, beautiful and full of challenges...and I've learned to take life as it comes. Enjoy life and stay positive!

One Lone Tear
I love Maya Angelou's poems...they are so eloquent and true to life. Here's one of my favorites:
Touched by an Angel
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
Maya Angelou
