CURRENT MISSION

Eat plants, make stuff, read stuff, write stuff.

One day, open a hostel with an attached wood shop and outfitted kitchen where people come together to cook, eat, enjoy nature, create objects, explore creativity, move their bodies, drink wine, expand their consciousnesses and enjoy one another.

ABOUT ME

Woodworker living in Brooklyn. Former peace corps volunteer. Sometimes writer.

PHILOSOPHY

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."
