CURRENT MISSION

To embody a classic RZA verse "Everywhere I sit, that is throne"

ABOUT ME

I am an American school teacher who has a hard time keeping still for too long. I am heading to South Africa to contınue teaching and am looking forward to taking my time getting there.

The self description is always tough but I put a hıgh value on humor, and I need a high level of laughter in my life. Likewise I value sincere talk even more whether its humorous or not, and I think the essence of my travelling has to do with exploring the worlds people more than the physical places.

PHILOSOPHY

That opposites have more in common than anything else, and that if one can find clarity in contradiction understanding is possible
