ABOUT ME

nature lovin, crunchy granola-ish, feminist, deadhead, student. I love to laugh and be outside and drink good beer while doing both those things. I got an old soul :)

PHILOSOPHY

SURRENDER TO THE FLOW

"A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that’s what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms." ~Osho

"I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the universe." ~Buckminster Fuller

"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more 'successful' people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it." ~David Orr

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked on an organic farm this summer, and watching and participating in such a nurturing process was the most meaningful thing I've done. :) Driving 20 hrs through mountains with my first lover to my first Phish show. Going to my most recent Phish show with a dear phriend after gettin out of that relationship, and sharing that show and my trip. Being surrounded by the beauty of the world and people around me on a daily basis.

Teach, Learn, Share

I got a bit of a green thumb but would love to learn more, I can cook (and according to dietary restrictions, former roommates are either gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, vegetarian, or vegan), I can sew some basic things, I can talk your ear off about music, I'm a good listener and a good driver, I know my way around a few Phish lots, I can make shitty caffeinated beverages
