About Me

ABOUT ME

I like to think that I consist completely of the people I have met and places been.

It is possible that a part of me is always tripping.

PHILOSOPHY

"My wild wisdom became pregnant on lonely mountains; on rough stones she gave birth to her young, her youngest. Now she runs foolishly through the harsh desert and seeks and seeks gentle turf - my old wild wisdom. Upon your hearts' gentle turf, my friends, upon your love she would bed her most dearly beloved." -- Thus Spoke Zarathustra
