about me
Astro Info: Aquarius Sun + Asc. Mercury, Libra Moon, Sagittarius Mars, Jupiter, Neptune etc.

Favorite color, Blue, Blood type O+ etc.

Post-modern would-be samurai, quasi-philosopher realistic-optimist, dreamer, warrior, lover, in search of knowledge and adventure....and the true meaning of love and compassion.

Dislikes: Judging a book (i.e. people) by it's cover. Asking but never giving. Not having patience. People who take themselves too seriously. People who have to be RIGHT. Talking, but not listening. Not being able to smile. ...a smile is a beautiful thing.

If you're curious...I can be mysterious. If you're stable...I can be crazy. If you're intelligent...I can be inquisitive. If you're timid...I can be daring. If you're blue...I can be funny. If you're nice...I can be wicked. If you're wicked...I can be willing. If you're lost...I can be found. If you're a friend...I can be all those things and more.

If something strikes your curiosity for some (strange) reason, feel free to say "HI". I don't bite (most of the time!) I'm always open to talking to and meeting new people, friends, teachers, shamans, travelers, dreamers, angels etc...

If you've made it this far...you might have something to teach me...
Everyone has their wisdom.

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."

Dreams, Truths, Lies & Other Words

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something,
and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both... read more

All our methods and measures eventually fall short in our search for meaning in this world. What gives true meaning to the world...the universe...life itself...is within us.

"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic."

"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."

- Dune, Frank Herbert

I love this story. The bodies recently found in Italy dating millenia were found in an embrace. Most relationships now barely last 5 days, let alone 5 minutes. Should really check out the story.
