CURRENT MISSION back in southern california. i'm searching for something more... ABOUT ME born in davis, california, but have lived all over the world for studies/university/soccer; seems california will always be my home though... my interests vary but i enjoy a simple life of playing soccer, riding my bike, tending to a garden, and having a strong, supportive, and inspiring community. PHILOSOPHY my goal is to live my life as if it were a potluck between friends: where everyone brings a dish (and can eat even if they don't bring one!), cleans up together, no one asks for any money, and everyone enjoys each others' company. if more aspects of our life could be as such, it'd be a beautiful world. "For our people, the earth is our mother. They are raping our mother. What would you do if they were raping your mother?" we don't inherit the earth from our parents; we borrow it from our children. break the spectacle. i often contemplate existence outside a western/european dominated world. A villager on Sankara: "Sankara's very best idea was to teach us that it wasn't enough to live with what we get in wages each month, we should get by with the minimum and give the rest to the development of the country instead of always asking for aid from overseas."
