CURRENT MISSION

To learn from every teacher that crosses my path, whether they be big or small in stature and bad or good in nature

ABOUT ME

I'm learning and teaching a language that is native to the Great Lakes area; when I'm not doing that, I spend time outside enjoying my surroundings and exploring the vast tree covered peninsulas of Michigan. I used to live in "The City" and now I live in "a city". It's about half as populated as when it was a booming port town that shipped copper and iron ore to the rest of the midwest. I love ore boats, static, and distance.

PHILOSOPHY

George Gray

I have studied many times
The marble which was chiseled for me—
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire—
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
