CURRENT MISSION

To reconcile the infinite and finite aspects of my existence. To learn to accept contradiction. To find beauty in the mundane. to stop listening to so much europop.

ABOUT ME

I love walking on the beach in my hometown or anywhere else, reading, cinema, whiling away time with friends new and old. I like hugging random cats. trying to get warm in winter sun. the first coffee of the day. unifying the universe with a friend in a good conversation and then forgettting quite how it all made sense.

PHILOSOPHY

Approach each day with patience. Try to learn from each situation and look on the bright side.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam to the island called Caldey off the coast from where I live this summer. It is three miles away and was very cold and rough! I did this on the basis of the absurd. And because one must act. And cause it was a fun thing to do I guess.
