CURRENT MISSION to learn/teach something from/to everyone I encounter. be compassionate, creative, spontaneous everyday. grow and overcome every day. ABOUT ME He does not need opium. He has the gift of reverie. ~Anais Nin There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you canâ PHILOSOPHY I believe everyone learns from one another. We are all teachers and students. Gender, race, & sexuality are all social constructs. Ani Difranco said the 'most that we can do is just to see each other through.' I believe that is a very fundamental part of human consciousness & the resulting capacity to love and feel loved: to provide consistant emotional & physical support. The only place we are truly free is in our heads. .. . dream or be dead. ~ Dax Riggs
