“Caritas” or Charity is to Love as Christ
1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5. doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6. rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7. beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there betongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The tales of my lifetime; "Tragedies & Triumphs; True Stories Untold" are chiefly born of my backdrop of Scottish family history, contrasting, congruent, compounded lifestyles as written and aimed to read as autobiographical, colorful, complexities, some shocking, but all true tellings of my "smashing" 35 year Hollywood career, triumphs, self-sabotage, serendipities and recovery as an Actor/Singer/Writer.
Raised by a ‘free love’ free sex’ liberated young mom & girls, sister & girls, aunts, grandmas, and creative ‘men’ of multi dimension, loving in dad’s absence. I sought to entertain and inspire, keep the love near. Music and Dance, Poetry and Song, our spirit of performance for me was a venue for exhibition and revelation of efforts to hold control of the effects of childhood sexual trauma, masked by a pretty made up face, cross dressed by/with sis and girlfriends, the bold role of boy/girl debut each day, playing all sides of me, beings in me, faces of me , shifting freely through shades, colors, desires on life’s stage. Diagnosed a “hypersexual” child fixated in seeming constant arousal, bent on naked displays, flirty stunts to allure, modified in time with teaching, so on to independence, academia and scholarship in my educational path, and my return to Seattle’s professional scene, acting as my art and craft came with ease and brought me to heights unseen, at The Group Theatre’s Tamer of Horses &'Tracers, first films, The Chocolate War & Class of 1999, admirers pulled me off to decades in Hollywood film. Shared screens with Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach, Tom Skerritt, Seymour Cassel, Dwight Yoakam & Zalman King’s Wild Orchid 2 & Red Shoe Diaries, Lynch's Wild at Heart, Book of Love, Broken Vessels, songs, scoring & writing in film/TV. I live wide open, inside, outside, shadow & light, therapeutically, my artistry sprung from a multibeing, polygender heart/mind, talent, spirit.
