IMDb

7/21

What is it like to be you?

Just at this precise moment, it's painful. (lumbar spine not happy), but usually, it's green-gold-dense-woven with high notes of rain and undertones of the evening sunset. It's a wild, windswept, mud-drenched sharing of heart-mind with all that matters most. It also involves long hours at the keyboard, because writing is like that, and long hours sitting in circle with people who make my heart sing.
