CURRENT MISSION My mission is simple: to seek and be sought, to breath, to smell, to taste, to feel, to do art, to heal and be healed, and to live and love life in the moment. ABOUT ME Honestly, I feel like I have said enough about my personality. I don't want to keep reitorating the same things I stated above. As for a physical description, I am tall, and on the thin side (but very strong and physically fit), with brown eyes and brown hair.I am artistic constantly, in just about everything i do, a creative thinker. It is not hard to make me laugh, and you can say anything you want around me, because I won't be offended. However, I am a sensitive person; I can be very soft, as well as tough. I am a friend for life, I will always make myself available for a friend-in-need, and I am a dependable person to talk to, should a friend need emotional support. Last but not least, I am highly spiritual. I am phsychically in-tune with the higher energies, in whatever form they may take, so I tend to pick-up on the subtleties of things relatively quickly. I understand things about people and the world in general, without trying to. Sometimes, people get nervous around spiritually inclinced individuals. Don't be deceived, I may believe in past lives, and other beings in the universe (besides humans), but I would never try to force my belief system on anyone else. Moreover, I am not bothered by other people's inclination to tease me. I have plenty of friends who are die-hard realists who think I am a little insane, but that's okay, we get along anyway. PHILOSOPHY Live life to the fullest. Live in the moment. Be considerate and open to other creatures both on and off this planet, but never regret, because "regret" is a foolhardy concept. Taste everything at least once, sacrifice selflessly for others, learn from one's experience, dance until you can't dance anymore, and then swim until you pass out on the beach under a full moon. Live to create beautiful things. Love infinitely.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have been scuba diving for almost fifteen years. Under the surface of the ocean, I have seen so many things I could never have believed existed on this earth (other than in prehistoric times). I have swam with a school of ten-twelve foot hammerhead sharks, a twenty-five foot whale shark, huge manta rays, and dolphins.
