about me
Ashtanga yogi and teacher, fire performer, circus performer, web designer, tree hugger and flower sniffer, variety and alternative theatre performer, faerie tale teller, metal worker, sustainable architecture student, philosophy practitioner, spiritual catalyst, and general trouble maker.

i believe this: that all that is is the manifestation of the divine experiencing itself. every one and every thing is a part of this manifestation. in this wild tao, harmony with the way is the most vibrant flourishing of each manifestation as itself. by being ourselves we are being divine. let no one and no thing deter us from this purpose. when we feed on the lessons of experience and take nutrients from everything we delight in the magic of all being. seeing god not just in beauty but in shit is often difficult but with perspective we can strive to realize what is fertilizer for life, exercise for the soul, and a catalyst for growth and change. all is divine.

i'm just a little tentacle of the All engaged in my all dancing divine mission to maintain the chaos equilibrium. dance with me.

I've now been in the Bay Area, West Oakland specifically for two and a q... read more

well, i'm not moving in with Rachel, but should I move? I'm not so hot for West Oakland anymore. I want something more central, more walkable, and with more trees. i probably can't have all three. so...

should i move to SF? central, walkable, tress or no trees dependent upon the neighborhood, close to free yoga at Yoga Tree, ***expensive***
move to Berkeley? walkable, trees, further from SF, *expensive*
move to prettier Oakland? trees, further from SF, possibly walkable
move to the... read more
