Pics of my (2nd) cousin honoring the Swesey tradition (thought of by my Uncle Kim, her grandpa) of cleaning the grave sites of our war vets. These pics really do speak a thousand words.

Welcome!

Hi! My name is Heather and I joined the blog world in 2006 to stay in touch with family and friends who I dont see everyday. I am currently in a PhD program in molecular biology with an emphasis in virology, trying to figure out how herpes simplex virus works. I hope you enjoy my blog and please feel free to comment!

In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

Religious Views:: Theoretically a Christian, philosophically a Buddhist
Interests:: stepping on crunchy leaves during the fall, wearing colorful and fuzzy socks, my laptop brings me joy, going to the grocery store, wearing skirts all year round, getting off a plane, the smell in the air after it rains, searching for a tiny bit of understanding in this crazy world called life (and science), cuddling with my kitties, soy milk, the color green, getting into clean sheets after a long shower, The Beatles, the sound my teapot makes in the morning, food (eating it, thinking about it, making it), long movies that suspend reality, escaping the OC, and slapsticks...someone needs to bring those back

"I am going to venture that the man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures, and acknowledging unity with the universe of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization" Chief Luther Standing Bear
About Me:: I rock out like a BAMF with a pencil in one hand and a book in the other

I am a citizen of the universe, proud of my roots but a lover of all countries. I don't believe in politics, organized religion, borders, racism, segregation (including animals), or domination. I only believe in peace.
