As a child, I was always making sound it was a compulsion. I loved to scream and yell and sing it freed me from all the thoughts in my head. I begged for opera lessons because opera singing is the most formidable, most emotional way to use your voice.

Yet every child Is cast from paradise- Into growth and new community, Into vast, ongoing Change.
