CURRENT MISSION

Do by not-doing. Act with non-action. Allow order to arise of itself.

ABOUT ME

It's not easy to get a sneak peak 'inside' all the way across the internet so I will stay on the safe surface. From there you would probably say I'm a kind, friendly type of a person and I won't argue with you; but as always it's not that black and white. I prefer a smile to a frown, for sure, and a good company to a devouring solitude but from time to time I need both - to draw a clear line between them, to savour them to the fullest and start all over again. With a real life somewhere in between.

PHILOSOPHY

"Still round the corner there may wait // A new road or a secret gate." (J. R. R. Tolkien, 1892 - 1973)

"Work toward emptiness and openness. Cultivate stillness. Breathe harmony. Become tranquility. / As the ten thousand things rise and fall, rise and fall, just witness their return to the root." (Tao Te Ching)

Does spreading the word count?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a couple of chaps with my ex a while ago but other than that - nada, nothing, zero, zilch. For now!

Interessen

Who I am I can’t tell you for I don’t know myself.

I *can* tell you what I like though: (1) art as an ultimate expression of human condition, particularly ● literature I don’t understand, ● photography I can’t handle, ● music I shouldn’t overdo so much, and ● cinema I stopped caring about, (2) alternate-controllable reality of ● games and role-play and some substances (like coffee and chocolate), (3) ● colours and shapes and symbols, (4) clever yet practical ● typography and design, (5) ● a sound of human voice, (6) ● time between six and seven post meridiem, and ● number 7.
