À propos de moi
CURRENT MISSION
Figuring out what I want to do in life!
ABOUT ME
Hm. I'm an engineer and artist. I enjoy just about everything and anything on the planet. I used to think that I was waiting around for life to be "something" when it's true that every single day of your life, that something is life/universe moving in a flow. I've found that if you get comfortable, and stop moving, and ultimately, forget what you're meant to do in this life, you wake up one day and realize that life is just begging you to jump back in and find your happiness again. I know that I've gotten side tracked with relationships, wondering where my power and bliss was.. but it was there all along.
Sometimes you forget and get complacent. I gotta stop doing that.
I'm one of those left brain/right brain people who have a hard time devoting much time to any one thing. Call it a failing, call it a gift, but knowing how to do lots of little things keeps the mind interested. I find humor and life in everything. I love the beach, the waves and watching a dolphin swim up during an awesome surf session.
I tinker, weld, create paintings -- and I'm drawn to the artistic.
PHILOSOPHY
You cannot lose what you do not have. Ask the universe for what you want.
The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.
