The Musings of Mary H.

I stand the middle ground of introvert and extrovert. I'm the craziest people person you will ever meet. The greatest person to party with. However, if it is time to write, I demand some alone time. I have this nice loft room upstairs with two beautiful windows to gaze out of. My computer is up there along with many personal items I treasure deeply. Next to the loft is the attic. One time the attic was left open for work and a black bird flew at me as I was doing some writing. Of course I was scared. I ran down stairs screaming. From previous research on omens, a blackbird flying at me from the attic was not good. I believe this was my initiation ceremony into the circle of poetry none the less.

To describe me would be difficult as I am parts of many genres. I'm a hippy-singer-dancer-lover-writer-artist-photographer-friend-cook-comedian. I am certain I have left something out but you get the picture. I'm always out for some new adventure and have a hundred more areas I would like to explore. My favorite challenge is the human mind. I've had some schooling in psychology other than my own pursuits. Education is great but is nothing like life experience. Education will teach you where to put the dots and lines but not the raw soul-gripping materials it takes to reach an audience. Also, to remember everyday is a learning experience. Once you stop learning, you stop growing. When you stop growing, you are in a rut. Complacency is a sign of a very slow death.
