Like those professors we all loved in college, I'm going to get to the most important point and then let you look at pictures. (Actually, I have to keep this brief because Langley has me packing for a new operation...) Here's the important stuff: I am only going to be on this earth once, and the choices I make every moment will determine the qualty of my experience. I have made the choice in my life to cultivate strong relationships at every turn. These are based on trust, respect, communication, honesty, reciprocation, generosity, compassion, and, yes, somewhere in there (at times to my big cha-motherfuckin'-grin) love. I derive meaning in life from these relationships. For this reason, it is not intuitive for me to close the door on people, whatever challenges we may have encountered. When I do, I usually feel a very powerful sense of loss. In general, I spend a lot of time thinking about why it is, given the bilions of us in the world, that two people's lives have crossed. Assuming there is meaning in that coincidence of space and time, I usually want to discover that meaning. Which takes time, and accounts for my aversion to small talk, not to mention my interest in being as honest as possible with others -- at times to a degree that defies social convention -- so that they will be honest with me. I tend to feel that, if you've reached me in some way, intentionally or not, the least I can do is is reach out to you. All that said, while mining, I sometimes encounter something(s) that cannot be assimilated. And when I do eventually find cause to draw boundaries with people, I know well enough to let the head lead the heart from that point forward. With national security riding on our shoulders, secret agents can't twice make the mistake of an error in the judgment of character. Jesus, listen to me. OK, OK, the pictures. (There are some more in my pics section, for those of you with the stomach to venture further.) Peace and Love, Inc.
