i am very optimistic and see life as abundant, expansive, and a project in consciousness. I see people as naturally gravitating toward light and love in whatever way that happens to be and at whatever stage in connection.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience" Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
"If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration" Nicola Tesla
"...the universe experiencing itself, we are all one..." multiple

and all that ...

Personally, I am always questioning my truest motives and aim for purity of intention (ends in itself and intrinsic purposes)...

Current pursuits: to feel more than intellectualize; to trust more than control what is unknown

amused by clever flip quotes:

I don't need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends i can be certain of
it's not the years in your life, but the life in your years
what you seek is seeking you
those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter

wordplay and root meanings of words (shifts in meaning and perspective):

depressed = deep rest
disease = dis-ease

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat on train from Vancouver to Toronto where I stayed for a month, then booked a one-way flight to Spain on a whim; stayed nearly two months then took a ferry to Morocco and had the opportunity to visit the desert via motorbike where I stayed with a nomad in a home he was in the process of building.
