CURRENT MISSION

looking finding meeting.. living... cantalooping.

ABOUT ME

I am a thoroughbred optimist, fascinated by the world. Everyday.

I'm always looking to learn and share. Life is too short, the world too big & undiscovered to be otherwise. And as all others, I am on that same quest to continually connect - with people, and the world at large.
Music (and dreaming) would be my life's passion. And naturally, I love traveling..

PHILOSOPHY

Slipping. In a herd of slipping buffaloes, who would remain victorious – the one with a bit of guile, or the one with the largest hooves?
Leaning. It is all about leaning. And not being afraid, or ashamed, to do so. As soon as this is recognised and brought forth into popular thinking, herd and beyond, there will be better understanding. For the leader of the herd knows the guileless will be lost, and will prefer that they not know that he does.
Until of course, water is found. This is the distraction. Clear, clean water. A chance to forego due explanation, to rest finally, to revel in the course rightly pursued. The course that brought them here, no less.

And then there will be the snort, that which will bring us back to reality, to tell us that things could never be so serious.
