I find it interesting that the words be and longing together form the word belonging. Because I think that two of our most important imperatives of being human are to be, and to belong. And in belonging, there is the longing to belong. We exist to be and to belong. And this is enough. We may strive for more, for achievements, for stuff, for adventure, but really all we can ever do is be and belong, wherever we are, and when we are not in a state of being or belonging, there is longing.

About Me
- Theresa
- Theresa began her writing/publishing career in earnest at age 12 with an underground newspaper. It was near the end of 7th grade at a Catholic grade school, the paper was left anonymously around the school. Unfortunately, some of it was left jammed in the old mimeograph machine, and Theresa was the last one seen using it. A good writer, and enterprising, just always leaving one shoe untied. She, and her good friend Mary, were expelled from school.
