About Me

CURRENT MISSION

exploring the art within living; joyful moments, enduring moments, heartfelt moments, satisfying moments. In the process of cultivating my character by understanding the nature of life...

ABOUT ME

boyant, open, caring, enigmatic. I enjoy life

PHILOSOPHY

My friend asked if i'd go to the botanical gardens one weekend to learn a little about Falun Gong from the practice site there. We went along and learnt the 5 gentle sets of exercizes that are similar to Tai Chi. The lady gave me a book, so that I could read a little more about the philiosophy... since then, i've found my world forever expanding as I grow in understanding the Fa, or what Doaist call the Dao(dow), the ways of nature. It's an amazing practice that i'd encourage anyone to find out a little more about it. www.falundafa.org... maybe I could show you the exercizes if we meet up.

Interests

Architecture; creating environments that help people to live and experience. Where living becomes an art.

Art; conveying important themes through stories so that people can grow, or change their understanding for the benefit. Sculpture, sand art...

To sing, to dance.. such raw ephemeral art forms where you express and it is felt by the audiance instantly.
