CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

25 years have left me a man desirous of moments of tranquility, elation, and contentedness, usually acheived in short glorious bursts. The avenues that lead to this temporary bliss are varied and grow as I collect different experiences. Some of the usual paths includeÑ hearing a song that speaks to the moment, reading a book that resonates with me. sipping a cup of strong Joe, partaking in a good conversation, spreading the gospel of Cactus, and viewing the majestic. I believe that few things are as freeing as showing up at a bus station with a thirst for adventure and no notion of a destination.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A combined sunset and moonrise seen from the wall of the old town in Essaouira was particularly good. The sky changed from blue to gold and from gold to purple and black while seagulls were gliding against the wind. I was perfectly happy in that moment.
