I am an avid outdoor enthusiast. Things I enjoy doing outside are hiking, backpacking, skiing, biking, gardening, playing pickleball, and relaxing in a hammock.
Things I enjoy doing inside are reading, cooking and playing the piano.
I love animals and have a mixed breed dog that goes hiking and backpacking with me.
Since retiring, I enjoy volunteering in many local organizations to help the community and those in need.

Every life is a new description of what human beings are, and it is inconceivable at this point that we could say anything final about what the human mind is. We have a mind in two senses, or of several senses, one of them is the individual mind. And then there is the larger collective mind that somehow or other seems to sort of magnify what occurs among us individually. (A Tear at the Edge of the Creation, Marcelo Gleiser)

Finally you saw the star
you were destined to see.
Finally you heard the song
you were meant to hear.
Finally you knew
what you had to do

As the stars began to burn
There arose an old voice
one from the past
yet from the future

And you ventured
further than you'd ever ventured
determined to do
whatever you needed to do
to help the ones
you were meant to save. (Poem by Sue Jantscher)
