"To be born privileged is not to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but to be born with music in your soul and poetry in your heart." - A variant of a Welsh proverb.
Let's just say, I was born privileged.
A bit about myself: I'm a college student somewhere in the northeastern United States, studying equine sciences. I am a lover of "Wind and Water, Magic and Music", as I, being my poet self, like to say. I enjoy the quiet, and the mountains, and the company of a flute and a dog.
A bit about my work: Another of my signature sayings is that "I know a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing." I dabble in everything from photography to poetry to painting... to basketry to spinning to wood-sculpting to hedge-clipping and so on.
Unless noted otherwise, none of my photographs are altered in any way from their original form, except for deviantART re-sizing.
However, I may sit on a poem for months and even years before deeming it complete. I may try to estimate the time span of the more drastic ones for you.
