You cannot get lost on a straight road. 'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones 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 like fabulous roman candles...' - Jack Kerouac (1922 - 1969)

Interested in:
Enlightenment, transcendence, transformation, extracting wisdom from wounds, turning endings into beginnings, the beautiful and the sublime, existing beyond the ordinary range of perception, contemporary art, fashion, intellectual repartee, elegance, sophistication, wit, charm, taste, luxury, uptown, downtown, never midtown. Walking through fire, fearlessness, embracing the unknown, unshakable faith, miracle-makers, the world is my oyster. I do not watch television.
