CURRENT MISSION

for my feet to brush against a whale

PHILOSOPHY

mine's stolen.
"This is true happiness: to have no ambition and to work like a horse as if you had every ambition. To live far from men, not to need them and yet to love them. To take part in the Christmas festivities and, after eating and drinking well, to escape on your own far from all the snares, to have the stars above, the land to your left and the sea to your right: and to realize of a sudden that, in your heart, life has accomplished its final miracle: it has become a fairy tale."
-Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek
