CONVERSATION

I have been an English teacher everywhere from London to a remote university in northwest China. I have been to twenty countries.

I have sung in Chinese on the back of a live buffalo for a national TV show in China and a live audience of thirty thousand and danced on a boathouse in Prague — and got paid for both! I have assisted my mother and sister in childbirth. I have been in love and have been loved many times. I have destroyed love and felt the darkness of loneliness. I have been lost in depression. I have climbed Mount Olympus in Greece.

I have published a short story. I have had a solo photography exhibition. Several newspaper articles have been written about me. After ten years, I have returned to university. I have been chosen to work as a visual artist in Spain next year. I have started to learn how to forgive myself for mistakes. . . .

I look forward to falling in love, really in love, looking into the eyes of my children, laughing a lot, gaining more knowledge and maybe even a little wisdom, continuing to create as a photographer and performer, being inspired by people and places, working towards a better world, discovering new paths.
