CURRENT MISSION

live my life for something greater than myself

ABOUT ME

i love the outdoors, having conversations about anything and everything, reading, making collages, running, swimming, drinking tea, knitting, learning new languages and skills, and listening to music.

PHILOSOPHY

i am daily trying to love God with everything i am and to love and serve my neighbor. i daily seek to better understand who my neighbor is and what it means to love and serve them.

"hospitality should not be limited to its literal sense of receiving a stranger in our house - although it is important never to forget and neglect that! - but as a fundamental attitude toward our fellow human being, which can be expressed in a great variety of ways." the great (though never self-proclaimed) henri nouwen

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

i recently drove through southeastern wyoming through a moonless, star-filled night. for 80 miles straight, i was the only person on the hwy... so i drove slowly in the middle of the road & gazed at the celestial symphony. it was scary and spectacular.
