One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trading money on black market in USSR
.
Walking toward wall in east berlin in 1970 and having solders running at me with machine guns.

Climbing crazy without ropes.( which I do not recommend!)

Swam with Manta rays in Hawaii

lectured at University of Hue on US students attitude toward the war
and current economic poblems

Being sucked out to sea while snorkeling on the Napali coast of Hiwaii, then having to swim into shore over some very angry coral reefs in ten foot reef break waves.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that bigetry is the result of a poor education, we need to learn by listening and teach by celebrating. We are the gift that keeps on giving.

I studied Theology at the Jesuit theologate for north america (though not as a candidate for celibicy)

Lived in a monastery formation school in Italy.

My great dream is to help purify the Catholic church of Clericalism. I am very gratefull to god that we have given up burning my allies!
