CURRENT MISSION

to change the world (or at least a small part of it), by developing my courage to live authentically, creatively, openly, and with complete trust.

ABOUT ME

Part seeker, part living activist, part intellectual, with hippie tendencies and a silly side.

Almost vegetarian (eggs and fish slip through, with much appreciation). Watch what I eat (preferring locally and ethically sourced, with a side of chocolate).

Aiming for more than work-life balance. Aiming for play-life balance. Looking to meet, share, learn, connect.

PHILOSOPHY

It's constantly evolving. But the latest to have inspired me comes from Howard Thurman, courtesy of my friend Kelly's blog:
"Ask not what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs, is people who have come alive."

Believer in 'garbage in, garbage out', so like to keep it clean.

Música, películas y libros

movies: anything that makes me _feel_ something, learn something, or laugh hysterically.

music: love my silence, but have had love affairs with dancefloor jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, indian classical, and of course, anything by Prince. An old Phil Collins track would also make my day. Friends have introduced me to much here that i'm grateful for.

books: I'll have at least 8 books borrowed from the library at any given time. Personal growth and eastern philosophy/spirituality are favourite topics. magazines: Ascent (sniff, publishing it's last issue), Adbusters, Vegetarian Times, YES!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Walked among 25,000 indigenous and rural Indians on a month-long non-violent march for land rights in India. Went through 5 states, from Gwalior all the way to the capital, Delhi. Have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janadesh_2007

Felt my heart both wrench and soar in the same day.
