Religion: The child versions of Jesus, Buddha, and the Goddess hang out in a tree fort in my head. We tell each other ghost stories (Buddha's are best), braid each other's hair, snuggle in a warm puppy pile and build Utopian cities out of Lincoln logs. The Goddess beats up the neighborhood bully for Buddha because he's non-violent, and Jesus heads our arts-n-crafts time before we head home for dinner.
Fingerprint: I would like to have the heart of a small child. I would keep it in a jar on my desk.
