About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn and do

ABOUT ME

Born in Madison, WI
Learned to appreciate going elsewhere
Learned to appreciate how amazing life in the US is
Learned who I (pretty much) am and will be
Learned to appreciate how screwed up life in the US is
Learned to walk the line
Learned to overcome (some) fears about the myth of "security"
Did some things in between
It went mostly well.

PHILOSOPHY

This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labors to others,
Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people,
Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
Or to any man or number of men,
Go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
And with the young and with the mothers of families,
Read these leaves in the open air,
Every season of every year of your life,
Reexamine all you have been told,
At school at church or in any book,
Dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
And your very flesh shall be a great poem

Walt Whitman
