CURRENT MISSION

Making a joyful noise!

ABOUT ME

Someday I hope to play in an Orchestra, at the moment my study of the oboe is a vehicle for introspection and personal exploration. I am SUCH a nerd.

PHILOSOPHY

The wise person acts without effort
and teaches by quiet example
He accepts things as they come

Creating without possessing
Nourishing without demanding
Accomplishes without taking credit
