CURRENT MISSION

gonna kick it root-down

ABOUT ME

Just graduated college in December, and not quite ready to accept reality yet. Pretty spiritual kinda guy, gettin down on a yoga mat and droppin Om's and what-not whenever opportunity arises. Consequently, I smile a good bit and have an easy good time. Also like to shred a mean footbag. Prolly not as much a hippy as you'd think though.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to realize the distinction between living and life's distractions. Then love life with all your heart as you become free from distraction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting Paramahamsa Prajnanananda was amazing. He's got it together.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've recently come to look at hiking as likened to a musical composition. Next time you're on a trail, observe the overall flow of your thoughts and emotions as they react to the changing sensory inputs. You may come to appreciate the lows as much as the highs.
