About Me

There's some Eastern philosophy that translates the word "jen" to mean "goodness." I am who i am. Even though shitty stuff happens, i laugh anyway. I'm relatively educated, know a fair amount of things and have lived a bit. . . but am also aware that I know very little about a lot of things. That's fine.
A few native Germans recently told my pal Mieke that according to the spelling, she pronounces her own name incorrectly.
Robert Henri said, "You pass people on the street. Some are for you, some are not." Yeah.
And this: "Rational Judgments repeat rational judgments. Irrational judgments lead to new experience."
~ Sol Lewitt
"Love is reciprocity and so is art. Either you abandon yourself to another world that you say you seek or you find ways to resist it."
~ Jeanette Winterson
