CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to stay in motion. To expirience and interact with different cultures and environments. My mission is to attain degrees of wisdom and knowledge in the pursuit and creation of my Self. My mission is to expand my charecter and know my limits.

ABOUT ME

My name is Daniel Kaminski and I am the only one like myself. I take great pleasure in identifying with my individuality and becoming more aware, through experiences, what exactly those things are that make me a unique human being. I demand a sense of honesty from anyone who I decide to give my time to. If I dont feel it then there is no relative value to a relationship. I believe honesty exists most assuredly in those people who are passionate about self discovery and self awareness. I am a beliver in the action of self discovery through social interaction. Revelations through connections with individual people and specific places. I belive in MUSIC above all things. Music speaks in voluminous truth. Not the bastardized music that is ubiquitous in pop culture, but the music that through struggle, sweat, tears, knowledge, thoughtfulness, expirience and inspiration has come into being to effect profoundly those that approach it considerably.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life as a seeker of knowledge in pursuit of wisdom, beauty and magic that exists on this Earth. I believe that to discover your Passion is the most important step towards a life in which you are filled with a strong sense of purpose, motivation and ultimate happiness. I believe nature should be revered and constantly considered in your life every day. I believe that conveniece is a disease. We should all take steps towards protection from this epidemic through learning to appreciate the value of hard work, struggle and effort as essential to building your charecter and helping you to be resilient in the face of conflict.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd participate by offering a comfortable, clean place to crash for those in need of room and board in New Haven CT.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first "Amazing thing done" that comes to my head is performing Mozart's Requiem Mass with the New Haven Oratorio Choir and Orchestra. As a contributor to the musical performance, to be a part of the ensemble that created an Amazingly potent musical energy, was one of the most powerful and moving expiriences of my young life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Stream of Conciousness Drawing. The limitless potential of lines on a page.

Hikes alone in the woods. Running off the path as fast as you can. Jumping from rock to rock, getting down on all fours to crawl through the Mountain Laurel. The forest fervor compelling your towards the untouched innocence of the secret corners of the depths.

Music borne of powerful, undeniable inspiration. Passionate expression, sweet exulatation. Imbas crawling under and raising your skin. Threshold revelation. The beauty withen humanity. Our ability to engage in art. To produce it and to affect with it.
