Upbringing.

Homemade chai.

Biscuits made from sunflowers.

Chamomile picked from the alley.

Blueberry muffins baked over a fire in half an orange peel.

Vegetarians who fed me bean curd.

My young years were interesting and meat deprived. Home-made clothes, a house rental under the flight-line and garlic capsules in my ears.

Hippies raised me.

I often didn't wear a shirt in the summers until the age of seven years old.--I have a photograph on vacation. I helped stack a wood pile at the age of two years--I have a photograph and I gazed the wonder of the Milky Way from Eastern Washington--I have memories!
