[Lani]

Hello! I'm happy to have found this site, and Thanks to Doreen for that! My name is Lani, originally from Hawaii and now live on Proud Lake in Michigan. I'm an artist- paint in acrylics and a writer, with poetry being my passion! Actually it was Artfire I'm looking at toward opening a store. That comment on facebook you made, Doreen, about Love being the answer but not sure what's the question? I think it's our reason for being... raison d'etre. I hope in the end, my life will reflect that... which is my ultimate goal. And it would be nice to leave something beautiful behind to be remembered by.

Welcome to the Studio, Lani! It's good to see you here. Looking forward to seeing some of your paintings (scroll down to Arts Center) ... and also reading your poetry! We hope you enjoy hanging out here and sharing your work.

And yes... I agree... Love is why we're here. To love and to create.... including creating love!

(I still don't know the question, though... )

This guy could have been writing about Doreen Peri.

Tea at Rachel Varnhagen's


Currant bread and current affairs
Strong Assam and rooms hazy with words
Beauty and brain not a contradiction in terms
Salons where male and female minds
Shamelessly mated on plush ottomans
Where sensuous mouths dared breathing hard truths
Where strong wills fearlessly bowed to the
Ingenious stroke of a feathery well-kept hand

When Artguy said welcome to the asylum he must have been thinking of me. I sometimes post under different user names for no reason anyone has been able to figure out why
I replied to you as stilltrucking on another forum here on S8
