CURRENT MISSION

Practice gratitude for what is instead of disappointment for what is not.

ABOUT ME

I am not a label nor am I concerned with being easy. I do however, Love to paint but I am not a painter. I Love to sing but I am not a cantor. I Love to write but I am not an author. I Love the accumulation of knowledge but I am not a philosopher. I Love the study of religion and its formulation but I am not a theologian. I Love the study of the Torah but I am neither a Rabbi or a Jew. I Love the ever-fluctuating additions to the very word, "Love" and its evolution in my perception, along with its pragmatic application. I Love the loneliness of rain and its waltz upon my window pane but I've a stricter definition of worship. I Love the gentle rays of the sun but never quite as much as Constantine. Suffice it to say, "I am, I was, and I will be, and if that's enough for Him, surely it's enough for me." Also, I would Love to meet you :). I have a lot to share, and a lot to learn...perhaps you can assist me in this regard?

PHILOSOPHY

"Love thy neighbor as thyself...learn to truly love thyself."

"The widows and the orphans, these are the heart of God."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just beginning, I am currently unable to provide a place of my own for your convenience. Although, it would be my pleasure to help you find accommodations and would be thrilled to show you around Denver if you're in the area. I am familiar with this place in its entirety and I would be happy to buy or cook you dinner or simply take you out for drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met with one member thus far who supplied me with a couch whilst I was sojourning in Jerusalem and my experience was breathtaking. I only Hope to provide half as much as what I've already gained.
