CURRENT MISSION "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" "If there is light in the soul, there is beauty in the person; If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house; If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation; If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.” ABOUT ME What I am is what I am are you what you are or what? I've been called an old soul with a young heart. PHILOSOPHY Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain. Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Where there is love there is life.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Music, Movies, and Books
'Because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, burn' (from On the road by Jack Kerouac)
