"I plucked a flower from the past-
Remembering my childhood days;
Life then was sweetened by an innocence
That today seems far away.
I cannot rekindle in a flower,
That which is no longer mine-
But I can surely dream for just an hour,
While I still the hands of time."
-Poem by: Faidra Bowen- (25 Aug 1986)

More about Faye:""A face which is always serene possesses a mysterious & powerful attraction: sad hearts come to it, as to the sun, to warm themselves again."
-Joseph Roux- (1725-1793)
Born in Athens, Greece, under the sign of Virgo. A loner, reserved, and somewhat shy. A perfectionist to a fault, a 'creature of habit,' and a good judge of character (so I've been told).
It takes awhile for me to 'warm up to people' and make friends, but once a virgo has you as a friend, it's forever.
Always deep in thought & often moody! I've struggled with adversities in my life and have somehow come out of them stronger, thus, I consider myself a true "Soul Survivor"
There's an 'aura' about my life from the beginning and I am eternally thankful to God for 'shining' his love on me, ...Expand for more
for in many ways, I've been blessed !

Five people that I would have loved to have met: Jesus Christ, Edgar Allan Poe, Abraham Lincoln, Anne Frank and Emily Dickinson :)

The Person in Literature that made an impact on my life:
The one that I can strongly related to would be American Poetess, Emily Dickinson (12/10/1830-5/15/1886). In Jr. High, I read a book on her life, and then I read her poetry- and I was hooked !
She inspired me to write my own poems & also gave me a love of poetry that I still hold true today.

"This is my letter to the World"
-Emily Dickinson- (1862)
"This is my letter to the World-That never wrote to Me-
The simple News that Nature told-With tender Majesty
Her Message is committed- To Hands I cannot see-
For Love of Her-Sweet-Countrymen-
Judge tenderly-of Me
-----------------------------------------------------------------
LEARNING
I've learned - that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned-that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive for that.
I've learned-that you can tell a lot about a person by the
way they handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned- that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other, and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

'WHAT'S IN A NAME: Look for the origin of your name... you'd be surprise!
Faidra/Phaedra: Greek Origin.
Meaning "The Enlightened one..." "Bright."
Phaedra, in greek mythology, was the daughter of King Minos , wife of Theseus, and step-mother of Hippolytus. Her life is one of a true "greek tragedy". A must read !

If one dies in their sleep, how would they know if they're just dreaming?
