About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be true

ABOUT ME

Irish music sessions, fiddle, kale, singing, tango, Hildegard Von Bingen, completely flabbergasted at how people can be so rude and lack respect to other human beings, especially when they pretend to be part of a movement against a disrespectful government.
I have nightmares very often. I am also listening to the Romance de la muerte del muy esclarecido Rey don Felipe sung by Graindelavoix. I love to buy as little as possible, because of what it all implies. I am vegetarian and eat mostly vegan food. I love to laugh and I love to care, maybe a little too much, about everything. I studied environmental design, but for what it means... When the wind blows or the light is heavy or dusty, I travel for cheap to distant locations. Caramel is really good, especially if you have a popcorn machine, and I think consciousness is underrated, big time. BIG TIME.
Oh I like accents, speaking with various accents, and second hand clothes as well as unexpected grace in an old-not-feeling-too-well man eating his blueberry muffin, then picking up the blueberry that fell, while waiting for the metro.
I'd like to get a banjo sometime, and a dulcimer. But first I'll go pick up my fiddle as I really am no good at it, yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Consciousness and love, deepness and commitment, totalness and belief. And humour.
