Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to continue travel as I did before mass computers , and all the electronic hospitality
ABOUT ME
continue to learn by discussion ,reading, travel , and working in interesting places
I grew up in a racially segregated society during the 60's
so the Military draft for vietnam effected me as well as the materialism of north america that causes people to look at what a person is rather than who they are . I had high hopes for change in all areas but less than I like has changed (dateing practices for example )
PHILOSOPHY
modesty
simplicity
relating with out a hidden agenda
honesty with the group you may be involved with-the means will give you the ends -live is a journey not a destination
drinking deep from the cup of life - carpe diem
