Achieved autonomy.

You cannot force anyone to do anything. Where does that desire come from? All humans have a universal need to enrich the lives of others for a sense of purpose and interconnectedness. The world grows larger, accumulates people in thousands daily. It is more true every day that you cannot change the whole world. If you want to change a whole world, realize you are a whole world of trillions of cells and microorganisms coexisting and interacting. Embody autonomy and deep self-direction, and you have empowered a whole world called Yourself. For more information see Non-Violent Communication and Self-Determination Theory.

Music- I've played woodwinds, strings and piano for over a decade. I currently play the flute regularly, and can improvise in any genre or song. I would love to share music and play together in jam or social sessions. Philosophy- I can talk about any topic and really enjoy deeper connections with others over broad topics in social sciences and innovation. Adventure- I love to bike and bus places, walk and explore interesting businesses, communities or nature. I have a high stamina for exploration and novelty.

Classical, New Age & mixed-genre music - both writing and playing.
