I'm told I'm a pretty chill guy, and really flexible!

My philosophy - appreciate the small things in nature. Right now I'm watching some uppity finches take a dust bath.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once walked to the top of a wooded hill the day after a heavy snow. As I stood wrapped in the silence of the moment a wind tornado picked up a layer of snow in front of me and it glistened brightly in the sunlight.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach origami to elementary students at a Quaker school.
