Climate change/climate justice: Research and activism. My life work: The EcoRes Forum (& on MySpace )
Anything that gets me into nature: Hiking, white water rafting. 2007 highlight (literally): Skydiving -- blue skies! For 2008: kayaking and mountain climbing. Goal: EVEREST
Compassionate, simplified, sustainable lifestyles: I'm still learning!
Travel & learning about other cultures: "I am not the same; having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world."
People inspired and inspiring, especially those who share their souls through music, dance, art, or the pen. Active on social/environmental issues? Even better! There is no greater success than to touch someone by sharing yourself.

Check out Béla
Fleck here and on YouTube (it gets crazy!):
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. From Muddy Waters to Axl Rose, Billie to Bocelli, Groenemeyer to Caruso, Beethoven ( Moonlight Sonata ) to Vivaldi, Janis to Melissa, Irish folk and modern to family bands of bluegrass/country, you'll find it in my collection. (I think Jimi Hendrix did that song just for me...)
The scarier the better...
International news, comedy, Euro football, and for some unexplainable reason: Spongebob
Kahlil Gibran, Umberto Eco, Ayaan Ali; anything from which I can learn or with which I can dream.
DAMN THIRSTY
First
the fish needs to say,
"Something ain't right about this
Camel ride --
And I'm
Feeling so damn
thirsty."
(Sufi poem)
Professionally, people like Nelson Mandela and Jody Williams and all the people working to make a difference in the global warming challenge.
Personally, people like my Uncle Dick, who can always find a reason to laugh. My forever hero: My grandma. Back in the day: Rachel McLish, Cory Everson - now that's discipline!
