CURRENT MISSION

To sing, to laugh like the sails and touch like the waters

ABOUT ME

I see more and less and I wonder if I should laugh or worry. I like snaps shots that ink onto paper and I like laying near the water while trains roar and rumble. Too much relates, and I see the universe always responding, even through the use of me. I think of all as alive and don't believe human-life is the standard by which to gauge life itself. We are all happening. I dream and long for what I will someday be

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really enjoy Why questions and how questions are so brilliant that I often laugh uncontrollably. Personal love of wisdom, i have no idea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like something different everyday. I love making rediculous jookes. I like uncovering the implications of a word by looking at its construction Con-Struct(ure)-ion. Structure isn't inherent? Ah but it is? Thus the oddities arise.

Music! I like it when others laugh because of me. I like tall grasses and clean water. Things come together

Interests

To me it seems that an interest is something that develops over a long span of time with varying peaks of intense interest. I can really enjoy being with other people, telling stories, creating a language between us and a way of seeing the world. I like to draw and paint and cook. It's not the activity that makes my life engaging, it's being aware and alive that makes things engaging, I like trying new things, not only do I learn more of what is possible but I learn more about what I already "know".

I spend my time in so many different ways, I have been traveling and living different life styles for two years now. I've lived in Nepal, lived as a sailor on a tall ship down the western coast of the US, worked as a live in caretaker, lived in my car on a seven month trip around the US. I live life and work diligently to be aware of what my efforts and the world is creating in myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was a walk I took in Nepal down a hillside into a cornfield, the night was black and for an eternal moment I could see a kind of sameness as the fireflies flickered like the hillside house lights and the dark terrain blended with the boundless night sky, for a moment standing on that muddy dirt road I knew so deeply that I stood on a perch in the universe.

I hiked an active volcano in Guatemala in 2008. Whilst climbing toward the peak, which tumbled crackly lava, we crossed through a serene field lush with a kind of life I may have never felt before or since. The grass was a glowing soft green, the trees felt light with an etherial air and as I clambered over a large dried river of lava I thought for certain I was in a Dr.Seuss book or that a mythical creature would soon appear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to whistle and once taught someone in a darkened library on the side of a mountain. I'm always up for trying to teach this!
Focus brings a lot into being?
I hear a lot when someone speaks.
I want to learn to be unabashed in creation
