ABOUT ME

I'm a left-handed Aquarian with an ENFP personality.

PHILOSOPHY

On this shore, we shall raise our monuments of stones, of wood, of mud, of color, of labor, of belief, of being, of life, of love, of self, of man expressed
in self-determined compliance, or willful revolt,
secure in this avowed truth, that no man is our master, nor can any ever be, at any time in time to come.
-Bob Kaufman
from "To My Son Parker, Asleep in the Next Room"
