CURRENT MISSION

To see and feel with clear-eyes; to love as a member of the fabric of love; to promote railroads

ABOUT ME

I'm peaceful, stubborn, perceptive, a listener, a leader. I like to know things, like to be helpful.

PHILOSOPHY

Be truthful, kind; look toward love, recognize that we are all human, accept what is and that things change.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Previously (to Nov 2006) I've shared many couches (and a few tents and beds) with friends I'd met through the course of life. Traveled all around Europe and the US, as far as Ukraine.

Teach, Learn, Share

Um . . .
Well I think teaching begins with respecting who the student is. Without a student and their questions, teaching is just filling space at best, and potentially life-destroying at worst.
