CURRENT MISSION

Pure in spirit

ABOUT ME

I am a minimalist, I like dreaming and talking about dreams. I like plants a lot. I am mostly vegan, sometimes vegetarian. I co-founded the Grand Rapids Food Not Bombs chapter. I don't own a car, I bike everywhere. I like camping a whole lot. I am a feminist. I can play a little ukulele. I like brewing mead and wine with housemates. I like sharing.

PHILOSOPHY

"Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the White Man, as snow before a summer sun.
"Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead and everything that is dear and sacred to us? I know you will cry with me, 'Never! Never!'"-Tecumseh of the Shawnee

Teach, Learn, Share

I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. Romans 14:14

Whosoever chooses to follow guidance, follows it for his own good; whosoever goes astray, goes astray to his own loss. al-Isra’ 17: 15

Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice, and
Politics without principle.
