My Philosophy:
"Agony is the heartbeat; death is the crucible; renewal is the goal”. I understand this as the compulsive rhythm of the universe we all live in, and identifies this classical tragic insight, tragic vision. I'm deeply interested in identifying affliction all human beings encounter, tracing the unique and often surprising ways it can dramatically unfold.

My Personality:
Old soul. Enjoy meeting new people and conversation. I have a hearty laugh and a good listener.

I'm a storyteller and a student of Greek myth/tragedy.

"Art is the proper task of life" ~ Nietzsche
