CURRENT MISSION

Spread awareness about the interconnection between humans and the environment. Too many see the two as separate, leading to an alienation from our very life source.

ABOUT ME

An artist of all sorts - drawing, music, and cooking. Always looking for philosophical discussions, and I quickly become bored with shallow, impersonal conversations. Love to hear a good story and love to create my own. An environmental activist and geographer/cartographer.

PHILOSOPHY

All is one. Thus we should love all - people, plants, and the smallest of critters. Even those who seek to do us harm. There is beauty hidden in every aspect of the universe, not just in sunsets and paintings. The cracks in the pavement, the flight of a sparrow, the cry of a dying soul. Each offers wisdom, if only we look to see it.

Interests

I enjoy ink drawings, watercolors, and play numerous instruments (keyboard, guitar, drums, and harp). I've composed and produced 3 full-length albums. Always looking for new food to eat and cook, no matter the cuisine.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ways to be happy in every situation through the practice of a mixture of Taoism and Existentialism. Appreciation of the many arts in life, from music to cooking to sitting. I would love to learn anything that furthers my appreciation for all in the world, from physics to philosophy to literature.
