CURRENT MISSION

to be very alive and to be compassionate even when i don't understand

ABOUT ME

i love too much stuff for my own good. especially i love colours and languages, and people, i love journies, mountains and wilderness, wildness, groundedness, i LOVE dancing, and when i study arabic, or when i make things in my little studio in an abandoned police/fire station i loose all concept of time. I want to love God, but i'm not sure what that means. I LOVE swimming outside, in rivers and lakes, cycling in autumn when the sun is coming through the trees, i love shadow puppetry, and love eastern orthodox churches with their chandeliers and icons, and i love oriental rugs, and i LOVE playing music with other people, and abandoned buildings, and organic farming.....
but in spite of this i am often very quiet, and I don't drink any alcohol so it's quite likely you will have quite a peaceful time with me!

PHILOSOPHY

to be the change i want to see in the world.
