CURRENT MISSION

Lucid living

ABOUT ME

On the 4th year of my 'gap year' from the rat race - an open mind exploring random things and settling into riding the wave of the unknown...

PHILOSOPHY

'Do unto others as you would have done unto you'
Laughter is the best medicine!
("don't take life too seriously, it's not permanent")
Honesty pays
'Each to their own' / 'live and let live'
Quality not quantity
Feel the fear and do it anyway!!
Try everything once - and more if you like it
"Be the change you want to see in the world" (Gandhi)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books; the books I've read have been mainly educational/enlightening - too many to list but they have been a journey from 'The Celestine Prophecy' (James Redfield) through 'The Holographic Universe' (Michael Talbot) to 'Awakening to the Dream' (Leo Hartong) - currently reading 'Punk Science' (Dr Manjir Samantha-Laughton)

Movies; I like inspirational, clever, thought provoking, humorous...

Music is pleasure - I like all sorts (I enjoy seeing live acts (especially anything acoustic where it is easy to appreciate raw talent))

The ukulele and Spanish are two things I am at a very beginner level and would love to improve
