ABOUT ME

French neighbors/person who crashed at my place for an event in marseille:
"Ils sont [les pancakes] très...très bons"/"Those are the best pancakes I've ever had!"

PHILOSOPHY

If a cat gets dunked in water, he won't a second time.

If somebody tells you something once listen, but if somebody else tells you the same thing...you had better remember.

Play that funky music...loud...and dance...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Carefully, enthusiastically, and with a :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I'm formally new to Couch Surfing, however, it has happened that I've effectively made use of my pancake powers to comfortably welcome old and new friends into my home.

Interests

strange synchronicities.

I've heard people say that the world and everything in it is connected. As I grow older I find that those people haven't been too wrong, but the thing is:

"once in awhile you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right”

Yes, of the rubbish we put to the curb could be turned into the most imaginative machines that could power the less wasteful for the next 200 years.

Have to tune in and turn up that radio cause LIFE, my friends, is always playing. And while I'm at it...

"Capoeira é tudo o que a boca come"
"Capoeira est tous que la bouche mange"
"Capoeira is everything that the mouth eats"
Mestre Pastinha

music, capoeira, art, surfing, science are all the intermediaries between us and the great unknown. The more receptive, peaceful, and loving, the more vibrant we are as humans.

to wrap it up:

"My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength, inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know it exists.”
Nikola Tesla (father of AC current, New York city thanks your sir)

Well if you ever thought Physics, Capoeira, and the Grateful Dead would enter into one man's profile we had better get into that discussion, no?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Alexandria, Egypt where the streets weave patterns only known to those who live there understand, the minarets churn to life 5 times a day.

As the muezzin recites the call to prayer the sound bounces of the walls and weaves through these streets as it moves in and out of focus as we cross the city.

At sunset in an empty tram on an otherwise bustling street the most peaceful sounds reach my ears as the clack clack clack of the tram passes a nearby mosque.

The adhan lasts perhaps two minutes of which I only heard in passing, the most beautiful melody of my life.

Living, sharing, lost , in love...
