Know God... and that's all you need to know.

About Me

"The real voyage in discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." -Marcel Proust-
I'm an avid Liver, Believer, Dreamer, Doer, Go-getter, Applicator, and Lover of all things that are Life, Truth, Love, and Beauty.
I live for the moments that define who we are. Given that, moments and everything outside ourselves are always subject to change and quickly passing, and therefore I myself, am constantly changing.
There are things I will never be able to be shaken from, which is my faith in God, what Love is, what Life is, that we do live in an AMAZING and beautiful world, and that we are all definitely here for more than just a purpose to do something great for everyone else, but on our own journey, to live and love everything we can in this Life, as our constant learning experience.
As many stars are in the sky, grains that make up the sands of the earth, and as many words that a photograph is worth... I believe there is just that much to live for and understand.
;) So here's to understanding it all, living it all, breathing it all in, and being affected in such a way, we're living impressions of greatness.
Here's to Life.
And here's to all my fellow pirates!
Cheers.

My First Original
For all the Lives taking on the world, seemingly alone. Here's to Warmth, Life, and Light in every day. You are never alone.
"...Each person's own life:
A Sunset in Time,
As to Each His Own,
A Sun in the sky...

Thanks for the music. Thanks for the passion. Thanks for being who you are- it's helped me to be me.

Nautical Promise
For Rob.
Inspired by "We will go Home" soundbyte from King Arthur.
Rob. Thanks for being a light everytime in every circumstance. I think you remind everyone of where we should be at if we're a little lost and you comfort us in direction with the warmth of your smile. You're a nautical star among men, whether you realize it or not. Keep shining, for everyone's sake.
" I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed." -Vincent van Gogh

Or simply as followed:

" You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi

..

I'd like to meet:

" Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive & it is only by this meeting that a new world is born ." -Anais Nin

R

Fan-freakin-tastic British, Scottish, Irish, Aussie, Russian people with narley accents (or anyone with a narley name)... but not exactly in that order. So basically if YOU have an accent (or a narley name)... yes... Y-O-U... I want to meet you ... unless you're a raving lunatic psycho (or if your name is Bob)... in that case if you are, please let me know so I can block you (nothing against Bob- just a boring name). If you are and that upsets you, please let me know so I can then, be very nice... as I do not wish or desire in any way to end up on a milk carton for missing people. Cheers.

Heroes:

People that live what they believe.
People that Live.
A few specifics:
Jesus- He's saved me more than once.
Anne of Green Gables- still rings close to home.
Family-isn't all by blood but is still heart based
Friends-share in life's complex simplicities
Everyone I meet-teaches me something new
Then there is of course *ehem*:
" A ll are architects of Fate
Building in these walls of Time
Some with massive deeds and great
Some with ornament and rhyme
Nothing useless is or low
Each thing is in it's place best
And what seems is idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest
For the structure we raise
Time is with materials filled
Our todays and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build..."
Excerpt from The Builders
