'if you've lost your peace, its because you've forgotten you belong to one another.' - mother theresa

i have peace.

i love horizons with the sunrise/sunset dance of light, and ancient trees leave me in wonder.

my favorite animal is the beluga. they have a permanent smile day and night, they smile even when they sleep.

"There are only two ways to live your life. one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle. " -albert einstein
I aspire to live the second. Life is such a gift, its fragility, its simplicity and complexity, when we receive it as such, it causes us to walk with a reverence and awe that I believe causes even more beauty to unfold and reveal itself.
I respect and honor all nationalities/races and religious/spiritual paths, and love all who care for life.
I dont tolerate racists, sexists, or bigots.

namaste!! (i honor the deepest treasure within you, the truest and most pure you)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Each of us are this planet's greatest treasures and hearing the stories that make us up is such a joy. Instead of focusing on the negative and the differences, the more we share our lives we discover that our hearts beat for the same reason, to discover beauty and love. I'm here to adventure, explore, have my eyes opened.
