About
I like the in-between states, the grey areas, or the exact points where opposites meet. I like the tension/union of body and spirit, matter and mind, logic and dream. Hence… “in limbo”. Never this or that, but in between. Both and neither always.
In “real” life my name is Kristen Michelle Håvet and I’m an American-Canadian living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I’m the founder and contributing editor of Glossolalia.
I believe in alchemy. It’s how you make art.

blah blah blah.
i miss you.
Wow, you have great taste in music, movies, and books. I think I am in love :)
all i can say is be careful.
^__^ ok, that was a clever response.
here, ill share:
“Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
joshua.trimble@gmail.com is my instant messenger name for pretty much everything. Hit me up sometime and lets talk philosophy and music! Cheers!
sorry i should say who i was talking to next time. ;)
Kristen, you rock.
we have similar musical tastes, but you are infinitely more beautiful than me :D
we are always in between. it is where the spark burst forth out of emptiness into a multiplicity of forms. Our life is our gift, our expression, our Art. it is the only the tangible thing we can offer… and yet, and yet… so fleeting, ephemeral.
nice to resonate with you.
