About Me

CURRENT MISSION

totalise the self/world interface with style

ABOUT ME

As tall as an order for a brace of unicorns, several songs short of a medley and seventy stories surplus of a handful. Willing to do most things. Excited by exploration. Enjoy being childlike. Occasionally shy. Interested in everything. Fond of ears. Kinky about words.

PHILOSOPHY

God is the relationship between all things.
It all boils down to two things: Intention and Attention, if we can give enough of those most experiences can be valuable. There's a lesson or reminder in everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't know yet, I've just joined.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

slept in all kinds of gardens, bathtubs, doorways, and on couches and seats across various, also played host to many people aswell, inc world slam champion maybe favourite so far was ten odd days in a teepee with a German ayurvedic shaman in the foothills of the Alps, playing chess, scoffing hanuta, drinking in the hot-tub, and getting down with the ayurvedas a little

Interests

I'm a writer of stories plays and poetry, regularly published and performed. Also an oral storyteller, beggining to collect and invent folktales. Exhibited art photographer. Sometime actor. Currently learning tribal drumming and native songs, and also learning Spanish. Interested in climbing things, re-using and possesing space, doing anything to poke myself and others out of the general sleepwalking state that seems to be so normal these days. Spreading love and mischief, meeting people and learning new things. Interested in employing my senses more. Dancing, obviously.
At the moment I'm starting a sociological study on the conditions of creative empowerment and social movements, but all I feel like doing today is travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

mmmmmmm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People's eyes. The tiny life in my lawn. Big groups of people singing and crying. A hundred plus hand drums thundering as one. The top of a mountain in the Alps. Galway in the fog. My nephew doing a backflip. The kindness and solidarity that can go hand in hand with suffering and deprivation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm:
Writing and Editing, both fiction and non-fiction. Writing games/storytelling games.
Acting games.
Literature and Sociology.
Mishmash of philosophy.
Photography.
Bits and pieces of cooking.
Lot of life experiences.
