Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to be born and live as variously as possible
PHILOSOPHY
"not because of victories / i sing, / having none, / but for the common sunshine, / the breeze, / the largess of the spring.
not for victory / but for the day's work done / as well as i was able; / not for a seat upon the dais / but at the common table."
-charles reznikoff, "te deum"
