CURRENT MISSION Share more, care more, judge less. Live in harmony with nature. Luddite-lover. I live in Massachusetts the majority of the year, but also in Southeast Kentucky for a lot of the year, or maybe Trinidad. If you send me a request to stay here, please let me know you have read my profile. ABOUT ME Ruthy-truthy. PHILOSOPHY I feel lucky to be alive and to live in my body, and when my brain says, "Legs, move!" they do. That's a gift I'm hugely grateful for, because it enables me to "do good" in a fun way. But even if my body didn't work the way I wanted it to, I'm sure there would still be Something I could do to contribute to the well-being of my surroundings.
