About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to bust out the fancy example sentences

ABOUT ME

"Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You ... are perhaps a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose."

--Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse
