Aldous Huxley said:

 “Try to Learn Something about everything and Everything about something.” That is me...I know a little bit about a lot of things and a lot about a few things!

The “Enlightened” part of my profile deals with the age of enlightenment and my love for its philosophes…Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, et al. I am still trying to attain spiritual enlightenment…and non-attachment…a daily plerk in progress..

Seeking truth since 1970 through individual and academic study. Am inspired to “become” non-attached Buddhist., but also love Taoism and Native America Spiritual traditions.

Love to write, travel and read. Feel most comfortable in silence, on a warm beach or in the mountains or stroking my beloved dog, Chloe.

Life continues to fascinate and inspire me.

Love reading, dogs, travel, the beach and the mountains, my family, and Native American Spiritualism.  

Mother of Alex and Kate! Spiritual Amma of Ariela!

My husband Keith-(Gentle Soul)is my true love and inspiration. He loves me for the person I am and we have grown closer together despite many setbacks and trials in our lives. He remains for me the true measure of how far I had to go to find the truth and passion.

I am a College Humanities Professor and love it! It challenges  and inspires me and helps me to continue to grow into a more enlightened thinker and keep me working to remain open to the flow I need to be creative in life. I need to learn and am ever a student of life and teach by Socratic method of inquiry.
I love to read and to take classes and write papers and learn new ideas. I love old movies and old songs.

“The proper study of mankind is books”.  Aldous Huxley

“A liberal educatin…frees a man from the prison-house of his class, race, time, place, background, family and even his nation.” R. Hutchins

”The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite anther thing to open the box”   Thomas Huxley

“It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.”
E.Ionesco

“This is the noble eightfold way: right view, right intention, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. This is the middle path, which produces insight and knowledge, and tends to clam, to higher knowledge, enlightenment”. Buddha

No difference of rank, position, or birth is so great as the gulf which separates the countless millions who use their head only in the service of their belly, in other words, look upon it as an instrument f the will, and those rare persons who have the courage to say: NO! It is too good for that. my head shall be active in its own serve; it shall try to comprehend the wondrous and varied spectacle of this  world, and then reproduce it in some form, whether as art or literature, that may answer to my character as an individual.  Arthur Schopenhaur.(1891)

Mankind’s salvation lies exclusively in everyone’s making everything his business, in the people of the east being anything but indifferent to what is thought in the west, and in the people of the west being anything but indifferent to what happens in the east. Literature, one of the most sensitive and responsible tools of human existence, has been the first to pick up, adopt, and assimilate this sense of the growing unity of mankind. Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1970)

A knowledge of different literatures is the best way to free one’s self from the tyranny of any of them. (Marti)

Emerson: what is the hardest task in the world? To think.

A great literature is chiefly the product of inquiring minds in revolt against the immovable certainties of the nation. (Mencken)


Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible.
They are engines of change, windows on the world, “lighthouses erected on the sea of time” They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print. (Barbara Tuchman) 1979
