CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people, and to love them for who they are.

ABOUT ME

I laugh a lot, and sometimes people don't know why and I have trouble explaining to them.
I like all animals, fruit, nuts, and wine. and oh yeah, tea and flowers.
cyling is cool too.
but i can get along with almost anyone, and I like listening to people.
Daydreaming, existing, and eating long meals with long desserts is good too. time is precious. let's meet now. why waste time?

"History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction." - Bill Watterson.

wisdom is perspective; curiosity is genius; silence is underrated.

PHILOSOPHY

(the ideal I am working towards, we are all works in progress...)
To never do something just because it is common or easy but because I choose to do it
To let people be themselves without judging them
Lead by example, don't preach
To deeply comprehend what it is to be a human being in terms of one's social class, sexuality, gender, race, culture, religion
Smile!
A good walk cures many, many things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taken the time to appreciate hiking 6-8 hours alone. There is so much to contemplate and marvel at in Nature, sometimes it is helpful to be alone to even attempt to appreciate it all. So many little bugs, leaf patterns, peculiar noises, and crisp air! I have travelled and explored other countries a bit, there is nothing like realizing how much we owe to the natural world, and realizing that a vibrant and genius world exists totally and independently of human concerns.

but it's also just nice to be alive.

Teach, Learn, Share
