I am a 62 year old, very left leaning artisan, designer-craftsperson, who loves to read, study, learn, discuss, argue, and write. I am also watching and taking part in the Occupy Wall St. movement with much excitement. I was raised a part of the counter culture by a nature and justice loving librarian mother and a Zen Buddhist artist father in the intellectual, activist and art communities in Tulsa Oklahoma and I am still active in those same groups. I am happiest when around others who are continually thinking, creating, learning, exploring and experimenting with new ideas in an open, tolerant, fair minded, and courages environment.
