About Me
- Name: Sagepaper
- Location: United States
An only child and service-brat, I was born in Panama. We lived on Indian Reservations when I was two to four-and-a-half -- crucial years for social development. Culturally, I am a mixed-up White Eyes from Mescalero. I began college at fifteen, enjoying a luxurious seven years of rigorous liberal arts education. Since graduating with a B.A. in Psychology, I have avidly read non-fiction, adding enormously to my formal education. Disabled by Tourette's Syndrome and other conditions, I live in Atlanta's suburbia. My father and husband are both physicians, and share a consulting business. (I am very proud of what they do, but I mention their occupations because people cannot seem to move to another small-talk topic if I simply say I am disabled. They must be told an occupation, and will start asking about family members to get one.)

As the World Rests
And so soft is the mist that has come
I've forgotten the afternoon's starkness
And the worries of things left undone
Unforsakable joys after midnight
When the world is at rest in itself
Now the darkness conceals the moonlight
And I know I could dance like an elf.
Oh the peace that I seek has drawn nearer
And I'll soon settle down in my bed
I expect I'll awake with things clearer
And not swirling about in my head
