ABOUT ME

I am back in my home town of Kansas City working but hope to soon move to somewhere mountainous, but on to myself...i am extremely open minded, i love to be outside all the time rain or shine, being part of nature. learning about other cultures, their languages and the amazing ways that people live their lives. I take every opportunity to expand my consciousness and verify to oneself the goodness of mankind in our tumultuous world.

PHILOSOPHY

all matter is simply energy condensed from the cosmos, therefore 'i am you and you are me'
