about me
Climber-Writer-Photographer living in Yosemite for many years. Life is Good.

I meditate, commune in higher truth and seek a more open heart. I like to Dance and Jump into icy rivers. I like Adventure of most sorts. I live in Yosemite's beauty and am attracted to natural beauty of all kinds. I try to respect people with other views and be friends with everyone. I believe in unconditional Love and am friends with most of my ex-girlfriends. (and have nothing but love for the ones who I've lost touch with)

I've lived in India, guided River Trips and Rockclimbing, and traveled throughout the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. I'm lazy about what I'm not inspired about.

Unfortunately, I believe depletion of Oil is about to create a state of economic disaster worldwide and we'll all have to work and network together to make the transition to low power lifestyle. Follow the links on www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net for a start

In reality though, our society reflects the totality of the people in it. The way to positive change is to raise consciousness. That's best done with love and understanding for all.

I don't have taboo subjects. I would like to face everything with open eyes, and accept reality as I see it.

Check out my rockclimbing site at www.yosemiteclimber.com/Climbi...me.html There's lots of stories of Rockclimbing experiences and some climbing photos as well.

I have a photography site at www.peaklightimages.com/PhotoHome.html.

The sites have lots of stories of Rockclimbing experiences and some climbing photos as well. There are also hundreds of images from Yosemite, Joshua Tree, India, Nepal, Thailand, the California Coast, and the High Sierra. Folks can order those images online. They'll be directed to my www.printroom.com/ghome.asp

I'm also try to be a writer. Check out some of my blogs. I didn't use to get involved in Politics but recent events have sucked my in. Check out my Op-Ed here www.commondreams.org/views03/0801-11.htm

Blessings, Peace, and Love to All.

My Blog

Looking at the world and it’s problems, it really seems to me that the Capitalist model needs to evolve from it’s current expression for the sake of the planet.

The need for constant growth and expansion is unsustainable and can only lead to depletion of resources and pollution.

Corporations are soulless entities, legally required to maximize shareholder profit as the first priority. They can actually be sued if they make any meaningful sacrifices intended for the greater of mankind, ex... read more

I have an internet friend named Lois.

She just doesn’t “get it” sometimes.

The truth is we all don’t “Get it” to different degrees about something or another.

But Lois embodies obtuseness in such a way that I realize that a certain threshold of blindness is a cosmic principle in human relationships. We can talk until we are blue in the face but some people will never, ever, ever, ever, Ever “get it”

Get used to it.

“Hey Lois, can you see the nose on your face?”

“I don’t s... read more

I posted this on a thread on the Bass Necter tribe in a discussion about class/image consciousness in the festival/music scene.

bassnectar.tribe.net/thread/...27f17a75

The original poster sums up his writing with 5 questions

1) Is looking "hot" a primary value of this scene?

2) Does looking "hot" (as defined by appearance - age, body type and dress) give one more access and power in this scene?

3) Does helping people look "hot" and creating o... read more

Baba is the essence of being bliss and
the stillness of everything and nothing.
His touch conveys truth, love and forgiveness and
the words from his tongue echo the wisdom of ages.
An old soul here for one last adventure!

Thank you for mirroring the divine in us all!!

Karl is like a laser beam focused on the divine
His heart conveying that which he truly is…
A “mirror” in which the eternal light is reflected
His eyes communicate his deep reverence for the truth
As he walks the path
a warrior who remembers his inherently blissful nature.
Thank you dear brother for your courage to live the dream
And for the wisdom you continually bring
Karl is a King!
