About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet and be met by versions of myself (hint: that's you all) as I would appear under different circumstances

ABOUT ME

Feeling lazy, ripped this from Facebook:

Activities:
Throat singing, Meditation, Hiking, Yoga, Parkour, Choral music, Roadtrips, Seeing the bigger picture, Taming with miracles those who must be tamed in that way

Favorite Quotations:
"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is." - Jan L. A. van de Snepscheut

About Me:
Don't look now, I've already solved all your problems and billed you in jumping jacks.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't just do the next right thing, do the absolute best thing you can.

Never stop meeting yourself; or, never stop inviting yourself along.

Stop doing, start being.
