CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy all that I have

ABOUT ME

I am a curious person.
Slightly mischievous without truly meaning to be :).
I like to get my hands dirty, and in part because I gain great satisfaction in cleaning up my messes.
Thirsty to learn in a big way.

PHILOSOPHY

The mastery of self.
All of the answers are inside ourselves, not out there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Self-produced a multi-media solo percussion show.

One morning, I was in a lake by myself near the shore. It was calm and sunny, and I was feeling lazy. So I just knelt in the sand, covered up to my waist in water, and was still. A few minutes later, two little yellow fish came to investigate me. After circling my legs for a few minutes, they began to poke my knees... It was awesome.
So, in fact, this was not something that I did, rather that the fish did. Or, I guess, I did do it by letting it happen...
