CURRENT MISSION

To Engage with People, Places, and things that are inspiring, creative, and good (most of the time. ;)

ABOUT ME

I am presently in my early-50's but have the energy and spirit of youth, always curious about the world, and exploring, though with less intensity than in the past. My main passion is world music and dance, as well as other cultural expressions, urban gardening, food, body-mind practices (e.g. yoga, tai chi, contact improv), and politics. Anything outdoors, nature, hiking, walking, exploring...

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live; be open to experiences; Listen; be good to people; dance and sing!
