About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and protect all the natural beauty of this earth and the universe.

ABOUT ME

I am in awe at the universe and love to ruminate on such things and big questions. I am a creature of many passions- physics, music, reading, the arts, photography, yoga, bellydance, foodie-ness and on and on to outer space.
I like to sometimes sit still and watch the grass grow around me. Other times I rave into the night.
I am a nature and animal protector and vegan.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.

S/he may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

-RUMI

Interests

Anything that makes me feel alive. The universe.Running right now. Capturing the moment. Experiencing. Breathing.
