CURRENT MISSION

To live and walk gently upon the earth while giggling. I currently live in Peru.

ABOUT ME

An intense fire burns in my heart stoked by the injustice of this system and the love of the living, continuing present. I'm quiet, but can keep a conversation going. I'm very solitary but enjoy and love human beings very much and find spending time with people a joyful necessity. I love this universe and this beautiful planet so very much. I'm deeply "spiritual" but see no need to impress upon people my own path or lack thereof. Everybody has got their own way and that's what I enjoy. I care what happens to us all.
I traveled for a few years in South America but then I settled in the Amazon for many years living with a family of Shuar and Quichua, I became a part of them and helped out when I could, but I returned home to the desert and the last 7 years I've lived in Moab, Utah working as a landscape foreman. I got burned-out traveling and living in the tropics, especially since I was born and raised in the desert, but now I'm ready for more. I adore deserts and pine-covered mountains...mmm...yummy. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Love. Now. Being not Becoming. No Time or Place, no Past or Future, only the Present. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The thing that moves inside me, the internal and infinite recognition of now, nothing external compares.

Teach, Learn, Share

First, what can I do to help out? Do you need your dishes cleaned, floor swept, garbage taken out? I'm a gardener/farmer and a healer so perhaps I can listen and learn and we take turns. I'm an artist, I draw with colored pencils and black paper. I'm a hard worker and grateful. Let's have fun.
