Someone emailed me asking about my name. It was chosen for me as my father had read Ariel: The Life Of Shelley by Andre Maurois when he was living in England and was so taken with Shelley’s life, Shakespeare’s character, and the Hebrew meaning – Lion of God – that he decided to gift it to me.

My father is currently traveling in Patagonia, Argentina and he sent me this photo that came across.

One of my favorite songs by System of a Down is Aerials.
It’s a great song on it’s own, but of course I think it’s super special cause it kind of sounds like Serj Tankianis is singing my name.

Now, Ariel will be in the sky, of my friends mural, way up high!

• The above photo is from the television series Power.
• Set in Chicago, Ariel and Krystyn are names on the screen of a phone.
• A compelling drama, much of the plot stems from two old lovers chance encounter.
• Gradually they move from resistance to the realization of their teenage dreams.
• A pull like gravity, inescapable, describes their relationship.
• Reuniting despite past trauma, each has mature enough to truly appreciate the other.
• A number of problems arise as a result of this.
• Keeping faith in each other despite this, their love deepens.
• In the course of six seasons, they find satisfaction in a way only the other can give.
• Seeing their love grow so despite the initial fears and issues is rewarding.
