CURRENT MISSION

"I'll light the fire, you put the flowers in the vase that you bought today."

ABOUT ME

I enjoy riding my bike, going for walks, cast-iron cooking, taking pictures, and listening to stories. I usually carry a pen and paper for my thoughts. I find it more rewarding to fix it with my own hands than to buy a new one.

PHILOSOPHY

Grace is free.
Embrace paradox.
Beauty matters.
Seek simplicity.
Discipline is freedom.
