CURRENT MISSION

just swimming and being kind

ABOUT ME

i envision a world in which all beings, animal, plant, and human, live in peace and harmony. we are here to be shepherds and farmers of the planet, but not in the current meaning of those words. pachamama (mother earth) provides for us an abundance of clean water, air, and land. we must stop exploiting these blessings as selfish "resources" and remember our innate connection with the planet. my desire is not only to survive, but to thrive. i strive to be healthy so that i may have more energy, authenticity, and adaptability to help those around me.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do not believe what you have heard. Do not believe in tradition because it is handed down many generations. Do not believe in anything that has been spoken of many times. Do not believe because the written statements come from some old sage. Do not believe in conjecture. Do not believe in authority or teachers or elders. But, after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." --- the Buddha

Algo increíble que he hecho
