CURRENT MISSION

to trust and let go

ABOUT ME

I'm a person in my late twenties trying to live the good life. I am interested in devoting my time to learning, re-learning, and unlearning a lot to be able to live well and respect everything I meet. I grew up being surrounded by wild artists on an art school in Provincetown. There I learned how become one with the creative force and imbue whatever i make with art.

I love animals, being peaceful in nature, and being inspired. I am an off and on again artist and musician, regrettably its hard to progress this way, but i enjoy doing both very much. I enjoy nature very much and also growing my own vegetables, or working in the dirt or the mud digging clams. I also like to zen out all day doing yoga, meditation, and enjoying the beauties of this world we live in that always somewhere hiding a bit sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

To be open minded and accepting of the things and people I encounter. To live in this world with appreciation and continually stopping to see its beauty. To consume as little as possible so I don't have to be stuck in the rush of society and money making. To throw my cell phone in the ocean, take risks with what is just probably, trust in doing what is right and letting go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in two amazing bands and created a lot of experimental music. In the process i was able to learn how to let go so often and really connect so well with my friends when playing and create such amazing stuff on the spot.

travel to Mexico and live on an animal farm where I saw a cat eat a bird, then a dog chase the cat to try to eat the cat, then a person chase the dog. Cyle of life right in front of me.

Spending 5 months being in nearly a constant spiritual practice mode which made me feel really good for a long time after wards. Hope to do this again.
