About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live each day in Truth and Beauty from the all the fields of limitless possibilities.

ABOUT ME

I had two concerts, sold my car and gave up my job and apartment so I could wear my soul's traveling shoes for awhile. Ireland has been a mystical journey with more Truth and Beauty than I could ever have imagined. And the Guinness is sumblime.

PHILOSOPHY

To understand that the true nature of the universe is one of Truth and Beauty,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand--from The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I have a home and am no longer traveling...I will offer up whatever accomodations I can. It will be great to give back and meet a fellow traveler in my home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2008, I was selected for a local artist series on the island where I live. It gave me the opportunity to produce and perform a benefit for the homeless. The show's title was A Winter Happening for Shelter. I was joined by both visual and performance artists who shared my vision and helped to create a wondrous evening that lives beyond space and time. Imagine a world where we are all sheltered.

Teach, Learn, Share

A laugh, a poem and a song and maybe to learn one as well. And to share stories...
