CURRENT MISSION

Become a bodhisattva

ABOUT ME

I just want to write, and to be.

PHILOSOPHY

We come here to fulfil a mission. We're given some tools and some setbacks. Our job is to find out what the mission is. The tools and setbacks are related to the nature of the mission. If you want to find out what the mission is, go somewhere quiet and be silent for a long, long time. You have to do this regularly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a shark up really, really close. I was on a snorkelling outing and it was lying very still in about 10 feet of water. I dove right down to it, since I was feeling particularly reckless that day, and looked it right in the eye. (It was a nurse shark, which is a pretty harmless one, but it was a big rush, nevertheless!)
