Greetings and Gratitude
I come to you over the internet offering myself as a new element or ingredient to the recipe of light that we seem to be cooking up. I’ve been drawn energetically to harmonize with your endeavors and wish to introduce myself. One of my names is John Lydon another, emptycloud. To most I appear to be a pretty ordinary American guy all in all. However I also posses a sense of extraordinary nature, perhaps the result of being left handed and short. Creating a right- brained perspective motivated with ADHD with some what dyslexic filters. Perhaps with my Sun and moon signs both in the Cancer water sign, my emotions are awake. Truly blessed, I seemed to have been born outside the box and managed to stay there. I did things natures way and wondered why the ruling power didn’t see that you are always right when on natures side. I was even assigned the task of instructing a convent of Italian nuns in patience and prayer as a youngster. As a first born, second generation Irish Catholic, all American boy I tested their vows, bore their punishments, and learned a great deal. G~d bless their efforts, but I remain forever left-handed and independent. I’ve struggled all my life to maintain my connection with Nature, which requires a separate creative set of rules, and a lot of gazing out of windows. I am deeply disturbed by the course of man against nature and view it with a detached yet personal perspective, as man and nature.

As such, a Chinese water dragon by Eastern astrology experiencing the earth’s labor pains, readying for the birth of a new cycle. Perhaps in 2012 the next cycle of the water dragon as the Mayan calendar and other multi-cultural clues indicate. The Sciences of Western and Eastern astrology both indicate an unusual balance of traits composing my true song of nature. I have experienced an unusual life path sprinkled with sages, witches, angels, devils, challenges and miracles mixed in with work and play and everyday hassles. I am putting this energy out to the universe at this time because of recent experiences that I went through with an extraordinary group of globally diverse indigenous Shaman and healers. A powerful group gathering to celebrate and heal Pacha Mamma, synchronously manifest itself, as a curve in my path and had its impact on my spirit. Important global healers, touched me, taught me, welcomed me to dance the deer dance and love all creation.

As such, I am drawn by the projected energy of your love and connection to nature, you’re nurturing of her expressions of beauty, and your efforts of rescue, education, pursuing alternatives and relief. I wish to learn from you, and contribute as we pursue our dreams in this global network powered by Nature. Costa Rica and Peru have summoned my nature and the details of the transition from Colorado will work themselves out. If I should happen to float through your space in time, your here and now, I would like an opportunity to contribute as able. I have much to offer, much to learn, and much to create. I hope to own little, love much and be grateful.

As such, an Anglo American male born 07/20/1952 in Hackensack N. J. A nature driven explorer since birth the vibration of the woods has harmonized with my biorhythm. A U.S. Army draftee and veteran, a driver and engineer in Korea, a supply clerk, armorer, and driver in Colorado. Three years in the Army and then Out. The father of two genuine, disillusioned young adults, I am still connected but divorced from their mom who remains an integral friend after 30 shared years. Continuously healthy, flexibly strong, rarely sick, injured or depressed. I am a landscape gardener, a nature sculptor, self employed and self motivated. An artistic and realistic creator, and teacher, I still follow the Scout code to be prepared and be of service to all. I play healing flutes and hand drums. I have practiced Tai Chi and Qi gong for over 15 years, along with some Aikido and Yoga. My hobbies include wood sculpting, poetry, photography, sea kayaking, hiking, archery, mountain climbing. I know the rewards of service, listening and volunteering with experience in aquatic physical therapy and high altitude primitive trail building.

As such,I travel the middle way of Taoist philosophy from Christian roots, mixed with individual spirituality. As for formal education; I have an associate’s degree in Passive Solar Energy Design and Alternative Construction. I build computers as a hobby and am certified in computer hardware and networking. I possess myriad skills in irrigation, planting, growing, harvesting, field repairs and work arounds. I love designing and constructing stone-scapes and water features. I am an Army trained, extreme condition driver experienced in transportation, navigation and mechanics. I love to cook imaginatively, bake herb breads, and can eat anything or little. I have good management and communication skills, and enjoy the solitude of meditation, listen to nature frequently and like sleeping in primitive conditions. I am tidy and respectful, co-operative as well as independent, honest, reliable and energetic. I connect well with animal, vegetable, mineral, water, wood and wind.

As such, I wish to explore the forests of Nature. By being of service to those aware of the great needs of Mother Nature and finding my way as I go. I will seek safe havens among the least of the least and find ways to contribute my most along the way. If Nature leads any to respond, to donate or perhaps to create opportunity with me, let me know and may it bring light, growth and peace. I have skills, energy and trust, but little as far as financial resources. So far, as dreamed and created, I’ve been blessed! Time, skills and energy are what I have to spend as currency. I love what I do and do what I love. I've been groomed by Mother Nature for this challenge. The question is just where and with whom it gets expressed. May I partake in your nature? Are you willing to open and share your love with me? Will you engage with me in this dance of life? I would like to invest myself into Nature and believe that the future of our planet may depend on many of us doing just that. I love and applaud your efforts regardless of any response or agreement.

A solitary water crystal suspended in a cloud destined to create living peace from the violent death of a far away star.
As such, I travel this road lightly, and brightly, with intuitive resourcefulness, loving intent, and strength from the fruits of my being.


Naturally,
