About Me

CURRENT MISSION

view everyone as perfect beings of light and love

ABOUT ME

I tend to work on projects that have self imposed deadlines that I never meet. I get fully absorbed in whatever I am doing. I hardly ever plan anything. I am passionate and lead my life with emotion, making decisions based on feelings. I do not carry a watch or my phone. I hardly ever answer the phone. I am at least 1/2 retired. feel like i live a low cost life but where does all the money go? I sit regularly and do a good bit of yoga. TV free. I go days and days without getting in my car. I love to garden and really enjoy eating what I grow.

in general i feel a pull and responsibility to society; to live a life worth emulating, to view all people as perfect beings of light and love. to leave the world slightly more unified and peaceful then I found it. the flip side is finding amusement in the realization that it is simply a bunch of flapdoodle.

PHILOSOPHY

happiness is more then the mere self indulgence,
seek first to understand then be understood,
say yes first, start it,
view all people as perfect beings of light and love, most things we see and hear are already in our mind, break out of it, fresh thoughts, flapdoodle is a good enough reason, find the normal spectacular
