About ME?

Greetings. This is the "about me" place. You want to know me? So do I.

As I've made abundantly clear, I am a traveler, in this world and in others. The story I would have to tell to relay how I came to be who I am is a tough nut to crack. There are details in the story that people, by today's standards, couldn't stomach without a trigger warning and I'm not good with those. It isn't that I have any kind of problem with them, I 'm just ignorant of the feeling. I have no idea what it even means to be triggered.

I suppose just tread lightly if you're here and prone to such things. Also, if you don't like something, simply GO AWAY. Make use of the tiny 'x' at the top right of your screen and go do some more on-line shopping. You DO deserve that thing.

As to the "about" in "about me," I try to keep it as simple as I can while still offering enough information to answer some of the questions you might have. I want you to know what you're getting yourself into. I'm got the brain of a scientist, the mind of a Mystic and the experience to prove that there are things science cannot explain. Arthur C. Clarke said it best when he said, "Magic's just science that we don't understand yet." The Mystic has proven more to me than the science at this point,

The security and "family" I never had as an orphan was traded in for the fascinating and oft times harrowing life I've had instead. It's been filled with people & situations that I still reflect on. For some people, unique experiences can create a unique perspective, I'm blessed with both.

There is a certain freedom in being dismissed. I didn't have to perform as expectations were below low, in point of fact, the expectation was failure. This isn't a guess or an assumption, this is what I overheard and was told growing up time and time again. People's treatment of me is also a giveaway, of course that says more about them than it does about me.

I'm not here to convince anyone of anything or provide proof of anything, that's NOT my job. I know that for anyone who needs proof, no proof is possible and for anyone who doesn't, none is necessary. People are meant to find their own proof as well as trust their own instincts, what's innate. Unfortunately, for the most part, current culture is completely out of touch. NOT my problem.

I'm unaccustomed to being heard so I tend to be somewhat abrupt, blunt if you will. I've learned to be very straightforward and honest without non-productive sugar-coating.

When I say that I have a somewhat unique skill-set, I really don't give a fiddler's fart if you believe me or not. It's OK, I don't mind keeping that insight to myself anyway.

When I frequently refer to myself as a "Gypsy" I'm not doing it to get anyone's knickers all twisted up, I'm speaking as a person who has lived with, traveled with and been accepted by the people and it was long before anyone took it upon themselves to get all a-twist over the word. Many of us are proud to be called Gypsies, just like I know of people who are proud to be called Witches or Lawyers.

All of this, of course, brings up the question of "magic" or "magick" or "majyckk," however the kids are spelling it these days, do I "believe" in it? Let me put it this way: If you had seen the things I have seen, done the things I have done, been to the places I've been to, you wouldn't be asking. However, this is just more of the talk that makes me sound delusional. It also depends on how you define "magic."

In THIS place, I don't care. This is MY Mountain and you are welcome to leave, or welcome to have fun and read some stories. It all boils down to CHOICE. So much more than what people think is all a matter of choice but most people are convinced from birth to trade their power in for something else, I simply wasn't. I have spent decades sharing alternative ideas. To that end, feel free to check out Big Picture Productions, over there it's about helping folks put the "self" back into "self-help."

Got questions? Simply ask. I will find the time.
