Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Unfolding Love and awareness of inner and outer life. Saving currency to start a legit farm and art endeavor on family land in Vermont.
ABOUT ME
I'm devoted to good, and I have a good definition for that word. I struggle through this world to cultivate my virtues and its virtues. I'm training to become a bard of the original tradition. I've traveled in body and perspective and instead of morphing like silly putty to adapt and form myself to the mold of each new social clime I've maintained and improved the dynamics of my own true personality. My religion is morality and my worship is sanity.
PHILOSOPHY
It seems to be what it seems to be, it being other plus me as I seem to see. I know my choices for sure, all else besides sincerity is seemingness.
This conversation is better to be had in person. I beleive we are tempted to do wrong so that we may become more attuned to our true desire to do right by overcoming lifetimes of challenge that result from our choices.
My philosophy has been shaped by a lifetime seeking truth and goodness and discovering that they are the same. I struggle to live honorably before the eyes of better judgement than most people of this realm demonstrate. I'm happy to respectfully philosophize.
I figure that a lot is possible given the immediate realities of choice and sincerity and all else being seemingness, and as I've opened to that truth over these years I've seen it increasingly manifest. To conclude this summary I'll stress the extreme importance of morality, for no other measurement seems to be used by truth to carve our destinies from potential.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participate in the traveling community by representing it and interacting with it. In the next few years I hope and plan to have an organic farming and enchanting art operation which travelers will also be invited to experience. At this moment my job requires that I travel frequently and stay in locations where I can't host, but I still intend to surf some to see what life's grace will show. I'm one of the first to help when I can, and one of the very few things that can still upset my calm is when I want to help but can't. I contribute light through positivity.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My experiences with couchsurfing have been almost entirely exceptionally great, and without the exceptions I would be convinced it was somehow too good to actually be true. I like the range of walks of life people lead before I met them through this wonderfully diverse site. I've traveled as extensively as I have because I seek the freshness of new types of experience and the growth of perspective. The grace of life is shown clearly in my experiences with couchsurfing and the long lasting friendships that it occasionally forms.
Interests
I'm most interested in Sanity. In the physical world this means that I'm interested in techniques to build a foundation we can be proud to walk on, I.E. a society founded on cooperation with the Earth and Sun and appreciation of the gift of life. In the mental realm this means that I've begun to walk the paths of higher consciousness which are only reached when one stops trying to make truth conform to what they want it to be and lets the truth be as it wants to. So any conversation on those topics will elicit lots of well thought out speech from me. Other powerful interests of mine include music, articulation, art of all sorts worthy of the title, dancing, goggles, legitimacy, cooperation, electromagnetism, flow arts, food and drink, interesting possibilities, traveling, legends, personal stories, social paradigm shift and knot tying,
