CURRENT MISSION

Seeking out the path of clarity

ABOUT ME

Though I sometimes speak a lot, I am working on my communication with silence; though I sometimes dream a lot, I am improving on my realization of reality.
I love to philosophize, but I live by my passion, and really seek out company of all kind. While I connect more with people who are open and forgiving, I can as easily learn from those who are closed and critical. Because in the end, when people are stripped of defenses, I believe that most have the best of intentions at heart.

PHILOSOPHY

Though it may be said time and again, this is particularly important to me right now.....................to live and let live. And as my dear friend Diana so nicely put it.....everyone matters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Athens after the riot of December 2009. Walking to the University with a friend a few hours after the tear gas subsided, and not a soul in sight. The anarchy flag still waved and broken marble was strewn everywhere.
