About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be blinded by the sun :)

ABOUT ME

I'm tall and used to be handsome; and things happen exactly as they happen, if you know what I mean. I love this feeling when you perceive yourself and everything else around you as perfect and complete...
I used to play a lot of music (drums, percussion), still do a bit. I used to be a writer as well, wrote a few novels, published one, worked as a National Geographic writer but eventually I got to discover what I appeared here for, so I just keep doing it, translating book after book. You can check out the website www.miskaryzu.pl
Oh, and I'm also a tennis instructor, so if you fancy a game...

PHILOSOPHY

Now is the only time, and even now is not real (when you say now, it's already gone...) So I relax and try to be attentive, perceptive and clear about anything that needs to be done at this very moment.
