CURRENT MISSION

To live a long life with truth, peace, and passion

ABOUT ME

something.

PHILOSOPHY

may your life be crowded with unexpected joys.
-h. jackson brown, jr.

you are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and acheivement. you are here to enrich the world.
-wilson

i beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. do not search fo rthe answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is, to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
-rilke

break the monotony. do something strange and extravagant!
- emerson

Always be kind, because everybody you will ever meet is fighting a hard battle.

"Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignity of humor and passion"
-Sir Thomas Browne

“He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

“We don't stop laughing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop laughing!

"crack kills"

"adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience"

"music is what feeling sounds like"

"if your dog doesnt like someone, you probably shouldnt either......."

"sometimes a scream is better than a thesis"

"I like nonsence, it wakes up the brain cells. fantasy is a necessary ingregient in living"

"be the change you want to see in the world"

"you cant shake hands with a clinched fist"

"watch your thoughts, they become words, watch your words, they become actions, watch your actions, they become habits, watch your habits, they become your character, watch your character, it becomes your destiny"
