ABOUT ME

a traveler and a farmer

PHILOSOPHY

i believe in compassion and the holiness, the mindblowing beauty, of the moment. i believe that all we have is this, right here and now, so let's do it. i believe that the world is too amazingly complex to ever even come close to understanding, but sometimes i like to try anyhoo. i believe in critical thinking. i like to toss around ideas about buddhism, anarchism, feminism, and many other -isms. but most of all i believe in constantly being open to new ideas and experiences.
