About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning.

ABOUT ME

Having fun. Acknowledging and using my gifts.

PHILOSOPHY

We are the astounding wonder and incredible intelligence of the entire universe expressing itself as life. Just as the apple tree apples, the earth has peopled. learning not to identify with the apple, rather the apple tree, is grooving with what really is. We are one universal occurrence! The self contained ego in a bag for flesh is an illusion. Sitting with the truth is the spiritual experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
