CURRENT MISSION

I'm learning how to teach and traveling at the same time. I'm sure that's unique.

ABOUT ME

I've spent too much time thinking about the universe, so much that I've decided to use my feet more and my mind less. I spend a lot of time walking around familiar and unfamiliar places, drinking with friends, starting and not finishing short stories, and reading books.

PHILOSOPHY

stories.

"If I am not for myself,
then who will be for me?
If I am only for myself,
then what am I?
If not now, then when?"

i like that last bit the best
