CURRENT MISSION

Travel, make art, meditate...I want to produce more than I consume.

ABOUT ME

I am curious. I am reasonable. I am a good listener. I am getting older and still have lots to do. Have lived on both coasts of the US and in the center.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to witness and still enjoy. I have decided to live in the world rather than seek seclusion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once read Tarot Cards for the Psychic Hotline. It was explained I was an alchemist is a past life.
