About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Zebras are reactionaries, Antelopes are missionaries, Pigeons plot in secrecy, And hamsters turn on frequently.

ABOUT ME

Even in mortal fear, I kept my station -
was born, received, found individuation.
I paid each man according to his measure,
loved frankly who gave freely of his pleasure.

PHILOSOPHY

The innermost and most powerful convictions have to be the more discreet ones also, combined with the maximum acceptance of the other - and without any drive to forcibly convince others...
