When you cease to make contribution you begin to die

About Me

"Rightly or wrongly, however, I prefer spiritual insomnia to psychic suicide. The hellless hell of compulsory heaven- on-earth emphatically isn't my pail of blueberries. By denying the past, which I respect, it negates the future, and I love the future. Consequently for me an autobiographical problem is an actuality." Momentary. Fascinated with character. Have an insatiable desire for knowledge. Intrigued by experience. Dangerously impulsive, perhaps my defining trait, the root of both my most magnificent experiences and deepest regrets.
Your Personality Profile
You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant.
Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle.
You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs.
For you, comfort and calm are very important.
You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection.
You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong. The World's Shortest Personality TestBecause for some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid, squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die. My gratitude for good writing is unbounded; Im grateful for it the way Im grateful for the ocean. Anne Lamott

My Interests

Poetry. Art. Literature. Piano. History. I love dark chocolate. Alot. With coffee. I believe compassion should drive ambition. I love the feeling before a storm- the tension. And the clarity, the glow afterwards. I believe great ambition and conquest without CONTRIBUTION is WITHOUT ANY GREAT SIGNIFICANCE I love to imagine. I love rich language, beautiful words.I love being ridiculous- and am known for my outlandish outbreaks of absurdity---I am learning to find balance-- learning the power in silence, the ability to listen

I'd like to meet:

Individuals. People commited to changing the world around them. People who want move "talk" to action.People who have realized that no one has the ability to judge.People who desire more than anything to make their lives meaningful by making others lives meaningful.
