About Me

You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.I have traveled much, rafted rivers, crossed deserts, climbed mountains, been self-taught and university trained, loved, been crushed and broken and raised up again and a hundred other things too wonderful to try and force into such a small space.I am a risk taker. Why? This is what it means to take a risk. It means you take a chance that everything you give away might be rejected or mocked. But it also means that in that risking and giving you may save another persons life the way someone else saved yours. If we are to lay claim to the power that God plants in each of us we must start taking a few chances and stop worrying what the outcome will be. God gave us everything and all he asks in return is that we do the same so another might live.

My Interests

The entire creative process, peeling onions, the cathartic experience, death and resurrection, a warm fire, good conversation, the sound of a rushing stream, the thunder of the surf at night on a deserted beach, an evening laced with silence and just life.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who thinks outside the box, colors outside the lines, takes a chance, risks it all and starts over if you have to, thinks love is worth the price you have to pay to get it and who is not afraid to cry. Also, you can find me on msn@ [email protected] - for you lingo types, thusia is the English transliteration for the Greek word for sacrifice sacrifice.
