CURRENT MISSION To live in a state of ecstatic bewilderment. ABOUT ME A hoper, A wisher, A lover, A dreamer, A kite-flying flyer, A magic-bean buyer. In another dimension I'm a whirling dervish of the Mevlevi Order. PHILOSOPHY "You carry all the ingredients to turn your life into a nightmare--Don't mix them! You carry all the ingredients to turn your existence into joy. Mix them, mix them!" ~Hafez I'm a fan of Alan Watts and appreciate most of his philosophical insights. Here's an idea of his that I enjoy indulging: http://youtu.be/wU0PYcCsL6o And I'd also like to share this humbling reflection from Carl Sagan: http://youtu.be/923jxZY2NPI
