June 16, 2007-- I "commenced" from Portland State University, receiving my M.A. in nonfiction writing!
Above: Watermusic, Moonwriter, and Lyonscribe outside the RoseGarden Arena.

This date and event mark, for me, the culmination of five years of full-time work, study, writing, and teaching, leading to the accumulation of an A.A., B.A., and now an M.A.
What a ride.... And the moral of the story? It's never, ever too late to take on a challenge that really means something to you. One of my all time favorite quotes comes from Joseph Campbell:
Follow your bliss,
And the doors of the Universe will open wide!
