About Me

I don't like bio's. It's like doing a sales job on something that is not, or should not be, for sale. My whole life is a journey of discovery, of who I am, and the deeper I go into the mystery, the less I seem to know. I know I only feel really at home, when I am in the "Wild Places." The places touched by the creator of all, whatever that is. Some indefinable energy. I know that is when I feel truly connected. I am feeling less and less connected to the artificial world of mankind and society. So much noise, so much running. Always in a rush to go somewhere or do something. It's making less and less sense to me. I wish it was like when I was a child again, except that I would know everything I know now. I would breathe in the scent of every flower, of every plant, and I would wait patiently for hours for a glimpse of the wild creatures. Those incredible beings that wait so patiently for us to get it.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/13/2007
Band Members: Lynda Craig
Influences:

My main influence is Dan Fogelberg. Other artists who have had an impact on me are Jane Siberry, John Denver, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt......... The list could go on forever. I'm a fan of good songs. It doesn't really matter what genre it is, if it's a good song, it's a good song. But, my favourite music is definitely the singer/songwriter, folkie thing. I like writer's who try to unravel the mystery that we all find ourselves immersed in. I have also been influenced by so many wonderful people who's stories have shaped my perception of this crazy and beautiful world. Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, loved him from the first time I saw him. When I was a kid, I used to be enthralled with Jacques Cousteau, so there's definitely a theme there. Anyone with the courage to try and protect the natural world and it's silent inhabitants, anyone who tries to give a voice to those without a voice.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)

"WHAT BEFALLS THE EARTH BEFALLS ALL THE SONS OF THE EARTH. THIS WE KNOW: THE EARTH DOES NOT BELONG TO MAN, MAN BELONGS TO THE EARTH. ALL THINGS ARE CONNECTED LIKE THE BLOOD THAT UNITES US ALL. MAN DOES NOT WEAVE THIS WEB OF LIFE. HE IS MERELY A STRAND OF IT. WHATEVER HE DOES TO THE WEB, HE DOES TO HIMSELF.' Chief Seattle (1786-1866)

The clearest way into the universe, is through a forest wildnerness. -John Muir (1838-1914)

When the earth is sick, the animals will begin to disappear, when that happens, the Rainbow Warriors will come to save them. Chief Seattle

Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
