About Me

CURRENT MISSION

All good things in all good time

PHILOSOPHY

The other day one of my professors asked us to come up with one word to sum up our lives and how we would like to lead them. This really got me thinking about how I feel about myself and how I see the people and the world around me. Often I find myself seeking simplicity and balance. Kickin' back and sharing in the good times

My word, wholesome

The Paradox of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet
the new neighbor.
We've built more computers to hold more
information to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communications;
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These times are times of fast foods;
but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It is time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room.

-H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama
