CURRENT MISSION

introduce the boldbrains philosophy, and learn from others

ABOUT ME

I was born 20 days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His dream lives in me. I have listed my ambition as to write a book with the social impact of Thomas Paine's COMMON SENSE. The name of my work in progress: COMMON PURPOSE PERSONAL CULTURE

PHILOSOPHY

We are all sum totals of our experience, and those of our ancestors. We are products of a liquid environment. We are divided, only by ignorance.
Empathy is my greatest strength,humility and patience the most valuable lessons I am learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and will host when I can. I also follow the PGA Tour and look for accommodations near the great golf courses.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a wonderful young couple in Fort Lauderdale, FL overnight. It was refreshing, insightful, and most pleasant. I hosted a couple from England for a few days in Salt Lake City. They were fascinating. Then in L.A. I surfed the homes of 2 individuals. Great Times!

Interests

I enjoy debate, and food. I like to play basketball, and watch most sporting events. I keep abreast of current events and appreciate the courage of other's convictions. I am interested in learning more about reducing, reusing, and recycling. Participating in a garden would be refreshing and worthwhile.

Winter’s Roads

Winter's Roads
by Ron Carnell
I cannot speak for all who stem
'Long roads less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
by words they spoke and did not say.

Each road is long, though short it seems,
And credence gives each road a name
Of fantasies sun-drenched in beams
Or choices turned to darkened dreams,
To where each road wends just the same.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

This journey grows now to its end,
As road reflections lined in chrome
Give way to roads with greater bend
And empty signs that still pretend
They point the way to home sweet home.

But all roads lead to where we go
And where we go is where we've been,
So home is just a word we know,
That space in time most apropos
For where we want to be again.

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is going to be
Another road - or just a place.
