well i have been lucky to have lived in many countries, seeing the cultural richness this world has to offer. music and dance are nonverbal ways i see cultural similarities and development. tools and toolmakers interest me as they seem to look at problems in our lives and invent something to make our life more pleasant. tools for art , instruments to me are tools for expression and communication without words, identifying our cultures,and those which interest us as composers. Instruments by themselves are wonderfull reflections of or tools and manufacturing and design process , but, instruments need us ....to bring out their voice.
as a ceramuc sculptor i enjoy massaging clay.... as a musician i enjoy massaging my drums and flutes. living on this island ,with the butterflies and birds,fruit trees , has been very nice for me. every day i am lucky to see them. and i look as often as i can. best wishes to all..........

lunch or dinner with friends, good conversation, in a relaxed way. i think this might be a good way to start ,learning about eachother through our close friends as well. then perhaps a nice walk to the river or throuh the garden, sitting ,sharing stories,dreams,goals,ideas........
i think this would be enough for the first "date".
