CURRENT MISSION

To LOVE, live simply, and to be free to experience all of life...

ABOUT ME

I am a traveler...I find boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of my liberty-my excessive freedom. I accept my boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure. I am a musician-love to share music with others in any way shape or form. Counter Cultural is the way I live-I am a radical (some say)...I speak for truth and human dignity for all people. I think nonviolence is organized love. Life is a beautiful adventure that writes itself with each new day.

PHILOSOPHY

“Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time...” -Leo F. Buscaglia

"Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white." - Mark Jenkins
