CURRENT MISSION

I just want to hear everyone's stories. I want to make art that tells stories, and live the best story ever. I'm always thinking about how this moment will be in the movie they make about my life.

ABOUT ME

my heart is a complicated country.

off the top of my head, i know:
cygnus
lira
draco
sagittarius
leo
orion
cancer
scorpio
but i'm sure i know some more, once i get looking.

i beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is, to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…
-rainer maria rilke

do you have the patience to wait
'til your mud settles and the water is clear?
can you remain unmoving
'til the right action arises by itself?
-lao tzu

the music our collisions would make
is a sound that turns the road-that-leads-us-back-home
into Home.
-aaron weiss

PHILOSOPHY

i'm a non-theistic taoist with some jesus mixed in.

the Master takes action
by letting things take their course.
she remains as calm
at the end as at the beginning.
she has nothing,
thus has nothing to lose.
what she desires is non-desire;
what she learns is to unlearn.
she simply reminds people
of who they have always been.
