About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There, and Back again...

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy person, open to everyone's statements & believe, more like a "live & let live" statement. I'm not a party type, easy going. I like to cook, play guitar/banjo, build instruments, talk a bout good books, music, psychology, nature, ...
Maybe a bit quiet in the beginning, if I think of it.

PHILOSOPHY

And not by eastern windows only, when daylight comes, comes in the light.
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly! But westward, look, the land is bright!
