Peace activism, humanitarianism, music, writing, moviemaking. Spiritual quests, travel, romance and adventure.
People, who even though they themselves are sometimes cranky and hermit-like, have an absolutely passionate love of humanity. People who challenge the staggering suffering of others. People who are creative and dynamic, and who believe in the inherent magic of life and the possibility of anything. Those who believe in themselves and their dreams, those who have integrity and value their word, and those who are not afraid to deconstruct the everyday parameters we take for granted. Those who can color outside the lines without getting nervous. I'm interested in people who question 'reality' and are not obsessed with ' fitting in'. People who are not merely products of conditioning, those who are fascinated by something other than the accumulation of material possessions. I'm inspired by those who respect their own voice, value others and the planet and who, through their own lives, elevate the consciousness of the whole.I try to come from a place of gratitude and wonder, although I don't always succeed. I'm trying to tame the most treacherous parts of my ego, so that my spirit can truly soar to its rightful place. A place where creativity abides, and where I'm free to take in the now moment and all its precious glory. Assist me, will you?
