My nature is honed by Nature – the Natural World, the need to get out in it, walk in it, observe it, work from it, grow stuff in it, get it under my fingernails, listen to it.  I’d be completely unhinged without my garden, this keeps me smiling.

DNA from my ancestors, with my own questioning, curious, unique character, shaped by experiences and influences past and present – as Suzanne Cleminshaw says on page 88 of her novel ‘The Great Ideas’ – “mirrors are full of everyone who ever looked in them”…………(I used to ask my mother unanswerable questions like ” If I hadn’t been ‘me’ would I have been someone else?” Meaning, would I still be the same soul in another body, or just not exist at all…she was never able to answer this.)

My shaved head, my feminist gender queer stance, my love of life, the fact that I don’t take drugs, my strong character, my love of myself, my history, my attitude, my sideways view on life, grounded dislocated view where normality is obscured. My understated shamanic spirituality my bare feet in summer, my dedication to love and fetish, my ability to surrender to speak, to shout and to be heard.
