But in all my desires and enjoyment, I hope to consume with a consistent passion...my political action, my artistic expression, my love for Joseph and my love of life. To continue the spirituality, nurturing and discovery of friendships and to learn from them and teach when needed; to gather and return warmly the shared fervor, to welcome another singular soul spread through many bodies.
