Q:
How do you pronounce your name?
A:
Quite a bit like ‘Raven'; though the r is trilled.
Q:
What sort of name is that?
A: My name...but if you mean
what language, its spelling is Cymraeg (Welsh).
Q: Is
that a drawing of you in the site's title?
A: It
is a drawing done by me—all of my drawings are in some way representations of
some aspect of my Self.
Q:
Who are you?
A: I
am Reifyn—who are you, yourself, alone and nameless?
Q:
Are you a woman or a man?
A:
People want to place labels on and name everything; and anyone who doesn’t fit
into some sort of predefined category is either excluded or suffers greatly in
society, which does this out of fear and ignorance. The first step to
acceptance of others is to forget labels, names and categories; and discontinue attempts
to fit others into preconceived notions.
Q:
What would you say is your most prominent feature as a person?
A:
Although I try and keep my outward life as simplistic as possible, inwardly I
am so varied and complex that it is like rolling some dice with thousands of
variations to see what comes out on top. But I would say a sense of sensitivity
towards others and a desire to cultivate this. Also, my belief that life is
sacred and that one ought to live as simple a life as possible and observe time
and one's self as equal to and connected to everything else.
Q: So
you consider philosophy as important to you?
A: If
‘philosophy' means having a way of living that you believe in, then that is
important to me. Likely, most people have some, at least latent, sense of this:
though their pursuits of distraction makes them forget this; or their day to
day survival in some instances. I am very interested that others and me find
our way back to our Selves.
