ABOUT ME

I like: talking to people, flowers, poetry, baked potatoes, art, music, etc. I would love to meet people to travel with! Or at least listen to a new story.

PHILOSOPHY

"Remember that there is only one important time and that is now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. The most important person is always the person you are with, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future? The most important pursuit is making the person standing at your side happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life."

Thich Nhat Hang recounting Tolstoy, from The Miracle of Mindfulness
