ABOUT ME

I am very old and I am very young. I paint, I write, I love the world around me, I watch, I learn. I just kind of exist, go with the flow, etc.
Hoping to see a bit of the world soon but for now I'm in Philadelphia. I love festivals, dancing around, love being surrounded by kindred people. I'm kind of a wallflower yet also outgoing. Can talk alot but more of a listener sometimes. I care about others and appreciate the simple things in life. I love the earth and want to learn how we humans can better live in harmony with her. I think about someday joining a sustainable intentional community, and I probably will. I also want to learn how to build tree houses and hobbit houses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the amazingness in my life has come through the collective of small but beautiful details

Teach, Learn, Share

most of what I teach is unintentional and just kind of comes from the heart. with friends I tend to be a listener with occasional insight. Also love philosophical discourse.
I want to learn anything related to urban farming, community, sustainability, building sustainable futures, etc.
