PHILOSOPHY

Go...and come back radiant.

All things are fleeting.

If we are lucky enough to develop the sentiments to care about social and environmental issues, then, it is our responsibility to do what we can to help those who are blinded from these realities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up every morning is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about tree identification and edible plants in the midwest to eastern range of the US but can always learn more.

After years of environmental activism, Im finding that I am at a stage where an internal approach to "changing the world" is extremely important. Whether this change takes place in a spiritual manner or not, to reflect on our connection with everything is nothing less than absolutely necessary.

learning to detach from this material world.

I am in the midst of learning more and more about permaculture. I was working on an organic farm this pass season and have hopes of experiencing other farms this upcoming season.
