I love to learn and to give. People have called me an iconoclast, but I'm your run-of-the-mill humanist, with an enormous interest in going my way, helping others go theirs, and celebrating when that's the same thing.


Here's how you might intepret my oncoming story if you were going in the opposite direction and we passed one another:
"Hello. In lieu of alcohol, red meat, fowl, tobacco, cane sugar, caffeine, narcotics, hallucinogens, aggression, and other provoking things that do not exist well with me, I prefer to eat a great big delicious banquet of fresh, natural foods. Indian food, raw veggies, fruit juices, sushi and spanikopita are my 'thrill' substances. It is an absolute joy to be so sensitive, but it requires a thick skin and I get depleted of hugs faster than others. Nice to meet you. Namaste."

Here's how you might view my story if you were walking with me for some time:
"I came to gain awareness of this world and help others do the same. I believe in the importance of community and consider myself a citizen on many levels - body, family, local, tribal, world, universe, etc. I love all beings very much and I am proud and excited to be a part of them. I am fascinated by people who take an interest in everything, who betray no dogma, but who represent themselves to the best of their ability, who can talk on any subject and reframe thought as fast as changing tapes in a tape player, who don't resort to a single mix tape they've made for themselves but who can abandon the music they loved forever, and look forward to the next new experience that will replace it, those who feel at home on the train, those who recognize family in strangers and strangers in their family, who bring the unmanifest into manifest and who lay to rest those old lullabies that keep us satisfied with our fears. Come with me. Let's explore!"
