Hi Jared,
I actually was an SGI member when I lived in Seattle 8 years ago. I sort of fell away from the group but still chant from time to time. Thanks for your note.
Best,
Maura

Hello Maura Alia! Beautiful name.. love the whole name. I see you are a belly dancer too.. wonderful. Thanks for the comment on the Astrology article. Have a look at my poem Nili (of the Nile) under my articles ... you might like it. Egypt is my great love. I have a great grandparent connection to Egypt now and other life times too. So I love belly dancing, the Nile, all of it. Oh and I am a democrat from Seattle... I note an interest in West african dance as well... Cool. Oh my gosh.. you went to the U of W? wow..so you lived in Seattle! I am a Reiki practitioner...noting your massage therapy work. Thanks for writing and stay in touch. I will do the column on a daily basis and you can find it by going to my profile. Bright Blessings, Isis
