CURRENT MISSION Mastery of mind ABOUT ME People describe me as kind, unconventional, peaceful, optimistic, and driven. I am constantly making jokes about things, and am lighthearted and easy going. I read a lot, sometimes a book every week or two. My favorite authors are Knut Hamsun, John McPhee, and TE Lawrence. I am a practicing Buddhist, which in my case is being openminded, humble, and practicing meditation daily. I have a degree in Buddhism, so my practice has some depth, and is relatively traditional. PHILOSOPHY Leave behind more than one takes.
