benevolent, irreverent, sincere, complex thoughts and a simple heart that cartwheels into every speck of existence and laughs, eats shit, repeats. bioluminous, mother of submarines, investigator of nature's secrets, talks to plants not cops. into practical and theoretical chaos, and applied magic. i love to play in new places and ideas; co-create not consume experiences. kinda criminal, extreme lover of things, potty mouth, builder/propagator of objects/sentiments whose only purpose is beauty, whimsy or silliness.

looking to host people who like finding new frontiers as they are and creating them where they never were. people who want to illuminate the invisible and imperceptible forms of beauty with me, treasure-hunt for strange worlds in potential space, lovingly tend idea gardens with building and creating, and chase all of the uncharted possibilities of being human.
