CURRENT MISSION

Settling down in South Louisiana and learning the Cajun culture.

ABOUT ME

I'd describe myself as someone who loves to experience and observe interesting cultures wherever I go. A geeky engineer is probably a more accurate description. I'm a Virgo cusp Leo, so I'm a social contradiction - introvert/extrovert. I never know which side I fall on. Probably detail-oriented and always hopeful, but totally self-obsessed. Or not! "Contradiction" should be my middle name.

PHILOSOPHY

We see a little of ourselves in everyone else. Receive and love others as one would receive and love oneself. Love and be loved. Serve and be served. Exclusion of others is ultimately because one cannot reconcile with the self-fear or self-hatred. Unable to find reconciliation, one often chooses to keep oneself fettered, instead of finding liberation. I constantly seek to learn more of myself 'cos that's when I know what I fear and hate. That's when I do my best to find reconciliation and liberation. Then, I'm happy.
