CURRENT MISSION

to find purpose and direction in my life

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person that likes to learn about pretty much anything at all, provided I don't have to crank numbers. I like to write and take pictures; not to fossilize memories, but to tell stories. I enjoy working with plants and I enjoy helping people with their plants even more, because it wasn't until I had the opportunity to work on a piece of land of my own that I became more intimately aware of how wasteful we as humans are and how much we take for granted, so I guess I could say I'm environmentally conscious as well. I love learning about myths and beliefs about the non-physical world, as well as sharing my views on it. I have trouble getting along with egocentric people, as I am quite the opposite. One thing I do not tolerate is the will to ignorance.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't like what American society is doing to me and the individual on a national scale, because I believe that the importance of thinking is not sufficiently emphasized, as is the importance of change - both its acceptance and the provision of fertile ground within oneself for its occurrence. I believe our salvation as well as damnation comes from within and to adopt a model of living that does not resonate with oneself is just detrimental to personal growth. I see too many people doing what others tell them they ought to, instead of finding for themselves what they think needs to be done, which is one of the reasons why we have so many unhappy people in America. Life is a series of choices; you can make anything you want of it. There is no 'right way', only your way.

Algo increíble que he hecho

In the summer of '06, my friends Tom Chemler and Sharon S. and I took a pontoon boat 1800 miles down the Mississippi from St. Paul, Minnesota to New Orleans. It was a month-long camping trip that I'll never forget, not just because of all the amazing and different people and places that welcomed us, but because I started to see things differently, and that's really where my trip began.
