CURRENT MISSION

exploring the ancestral lands of both myself (la sicilia) & my companion, evie (españa)

ABOUT ME

i am trying to live right here, right now in the moment. i enjoy speaking with just about everyone with whom i cross paths. i need time alone to contemplate the world & my place in it just as much as i need to spend time with people, getting to know you all better & co-creating our world together. i don't particularly like plans, but i understand that they are necessary sometimes. i love life, but if mine were to end today, i would be happy with what i've had.

PHILOSOPHY

it is all, always, already alright
