CURRENT MISSION

trying to learn long term discipline in martial arts...and to open my heart to everyone and everything, love without fear, and build the world into one big happy beautiful community, one small step at a time. i dream big, and i am just one of those hippies - what can i do

ABOUT ME

I am a gentle creature, shy but friendly, lazy, but like to do new things all the time, i am constantly changing, sometimes chasing my tail, or the sunset over continents, or trying to understand which way the winds are blowing
