Location: Kauai then - now Rockaway Beach, MO, Hawaii

For twenty years I worked in Opera... first as a technician, scenic artist, costume maker, then in stage management and production, finally settling into directing as my career. I started at the Santa Fe Opera in the summer of 1971 and worked in Europe, Canada, the United States and stayed on staff at the Metropolitan Opera for 12 years. I then went back into art and design and started my own independent design and communication business. My dog and cat, birds and garden all keep me happy while I write and design.

My Life's Truth

An Essay:

The reason we love and the purpose of our lives comes from a deep, warm, snowy place in our past...perhaps a winter cave - a safe haven. In our sunlit future, we hope for the solution to the mysterious riddle of who we are.

Now, defined by our clothes, jobs, homes, and friends, we are concerned with the opinions of others. We have only to be who we are and share what we have without pretending to have more than what is. In this way, the world could be healed. We imagine things and we fear people. We see, so dimly, the confusing world around us that we forget WE are the power to heal everything we touch and see.

The power to heal all we touch and see resides within us. Our way through our lives LOOKS like it is based on the material world, but in truth, our raft is built in the world of spirit with powerful love at our core. Is it not our dream of inner comfort, peace, and security that challenges us to manifest and build our wealth in the material world? We think that these horizontal connections to objects and places that give comfort will ensure our peace and security.

But, if a schedule is upset, a pet dies, the phones go out, or the cash flow is disrupted, do we not sit in the same chair as yesterday and wonder how we will get back to our peace and security? We become focused on what we see with our eyes, we cling to routine, we limit our power.

Yet, if we meet the day with our power to heal, if we seek those who need our hope and faith in the goodness of life, then we come across others who, like us, can transform the world. We become a team to transform the day. We have inner purpose and we create our day with real power. It is our power to heal ourselves, our lives, and to bring others out of their confusion into the light that will transform the world with a great wave of joy.
