About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is.... to be capable, loving, to spread joy and clarity and to heal the sickness of society. Vast, I know, but I can do anything, and so can you.

ABOUT ME

I am a dust-mote. A free entity, a variable. Adaptable, chameleon-like, I love it all. I don't care what I'm doing as long as it's honest, simple, beautiful, life-giving. They can have their Babylon, because I've chosen the low road. Equal parts inverted and expressive, blooming and collapsing at once. I do not seek to judge, only to understand, and to learn. I'm a high-energy, high-performance, clean-burning organic machine. My fuel is your smile, the all-caressing wind and fresh green vegetables. Honestly, I'm just here to love you and to make us all happy and free.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is my entire being. It's what I live for, to be free and true and to exist as a real human being, a child of the earth and not of the concrete. It's knowing that every man is my brother and every woman, my sister. That underneath every layer of social influence, distortion, mass-media marketing attempt, socio-economic class division, personal preference, skin color or favorite flavor, we are all the same person - a daughter, a son, a lover, a doer and a dreamer. It's knowing that everyone on Earth is one of 7 billion cousins, that we share 97% of our DNA with orangutans and 60% with bananas, so really how different are we, after all?

Interests

The infinite undercurrents that guide us, making faces in the mirror, giving piggy back rides, being absolutely ecstatic about nothing in particular and everything at once. You know? All of it, the good and the bad, it's all beautiful. Riding my bike, climbing Banyan trees, collecting rocks. Birds.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't have the attention span for movies, but music is my lifeblood! Anything with soul, intention, passion or poetry, badly-sung or badly-recorded, I love. A dirty bass-line never hurt anyone, either. Books! Books books books are my favorite thing in the galaxy. At any given point I'm reading 6 books at a time, and I can't ever finish them because 5 minutes into one I'm stopping to write a quote or to find a highlighter or just to be blown away by the amazing things you read in books. Self-education is the key to self-mastery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every. Single. Day. Are you kidding? There isn't enough time or space to fill this out correctly, it would turn into an autobiography.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn anything that you are willing to teach me, especially the lost arts of practical skill. Do-it-yourself is my middle name. I can teach... well, I don't know what I can teach. Optimism? Faith. How to love a child or how to cook a vegetarian dinner or how to give the perfect high-five.
