My heartfelt gratitude extends to each one who has influenced my progression from nothing toward deconstruction. As previously stated, I'm not finished yet. Revision is the order of the day and continues perpetually whether we know it or not.

Origins and influences include... The Creator of Life, the stars, Sol, Earth, Saturn, books, ditches, Mrs.Westman, assorted students and teachers, the odd parent, occasional ancestors, machines, vehicles, and places I've encountered... physics, biology, chemistry, and music. Inkwathia Lake. My thanks to true friends, to H. for connecting me to the sea, to Mr. Martin who trusted me with the bones of his business and made me feel capable of anything... to Simon Fraser for being there when I needed it and providing some of the best years of my life. John Stapleton, JEK. Women who mused me. Specific thanks for Vancouver Island and to Ron Greenaway for his dedication and support of the arts. We don't really NEED all that much but what we do need is someone with faith in us. I beg forgiveness for my lack of it but raise my hands with gratitude to each day's rising sun acknowledging the territory on which I stand and the awesome power behind it all. May good luck or the blood of Jesus save us from whatever it is that's coming . . .   someday maybe we might actually KNOW something, you think? . . .

          E.E.M. (Enjoy every moment) and if you're up for it . . . EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE
