About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spend my time where it has to be spent, that is - HERE

ABOUT ME

The best way to describe myself is to name what I like to do, and that is - nature, dancing, running, roaming around, doing all kinds of things alone (which really isn't alone, because there is always someone - a tree, an animal or something else), listening to music, reading, recently I rediscovered drawing, and also being with people, however, not too often, ha ha! If you are deciding whether to host/surf with me, you should now that I like to laugh, to have fun, sing and dance, but not to go to nightclubs (oh, they're smelling so bad and the first time I was there I thought, this is what Hell looks like). Also, I need some time alone, and I respect the same need of yours.

PHILOSOPHY

I was thinking about tattoos one day and if I ever had one (or two), which is probably never going to happen, these might be the lines I would put there, somewhere, most likely not on my face

e e cummings

for any ruffian of the sky
your kingbird doesn’t give a damn-
his royal warcry is I AM
and he’s the soul of chivalry

in terror of whose furious beak
(as sweetly singing creatures know)
cringes the hugest heartless hawk
and veers the vast most crafty crow

your kingbird doesn’t give a damn
for murderers of high estate
whose mongrel creed is Might Makes Right
-his royal warcry is I AM

true to his mate his chicks his friends
he loves because he cannot fear
(you see it in the way he stand
and looks and leaps upon the air)

"The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.

The houses are all gone under the sea.

The dancers are all gone under the hill."
— T.S. Eliot

Music, Movies, and Books

Dostoevsky "Idiot", Ambiguous Adventure by Cheikh Hamidou Kane, H Hesse, RM Rilke, ee cummings, Pablo Neruda, and many others

I like all kind of music except for what I used to like, he he, because I liked it too much and took it too personally, so it is pretty hard for me to stand rock music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on the bank of the river Abava (small river in my hometown) in a sunny winter's day and feeling Happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn African dancing (I know there are million ways, but as I'm not an expert, I don't have a preference), to draw well, to speak some more languages, to see clearly, to run more freely, to have easy relationships with money (not worrying about not having a job, and maybe finding one, haha!) - many many endless things. I can share almost everything I know, know how to do or make. I don't know, knitting? speaking Latvian? running? sewing?
