About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and meet people and see with my own eyes that there is always more out there.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going guy. Just looking for happy events to fill my memory with. I like seeing new things, learning about the culture and beliefs of different regions.

PHILOSOPHY

Keeping Things Whole

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body's been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.
- Mark Strand
