About Me
Seeking and Speculating : From the coast of Maine, ever musing upon life's fascinating mysteries and living a pilgrimage of trust on earth. "La Vie Graphite," the Graphite Life- began in pencil, and continues as an equally erasable medium of varying tones. Heavy thoughts at times, but from a lighthearted soul- always glad to hear from kindred souls. Je pense, donc j'écris!
