About Me

Stream of consciousness experiment... perpetually changing."The roots of a lotus are in the mud, the stem grows up through the water, and the heavily scented flower lies above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. Though there are other water plants that bloom above the water, it is only the lotus which, owing to the strength of its stem, regularly rises eight to twelve inches above the surface." -A.D.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A Night With Allison Jenks
People who are not afraid look at their past as a means to liberate the present.. People who can talk about our existence with out caring too much about their image. People who are capable of making everyone in their presence feel comfortable. People who are spontaneous and will drive to Key West with me tomorrow to eat oysters and go deep sea fishing and then stay up all night dancing with the local people on the beach. People who could care less about money, social climbing or status seeking. People who make what they want happen without any excuses. People who see how beautiful old folks are (especially when they hold hands)...... . People who have big goals, dreams and follow at least 20% of them through...people who are inspiring, passionate and adventurous and will come with me to Rwanda, Burma, Tibet or the Amazon to ride dirt-bikes in the jungle or make a documentary about ancient rituals or rites of passage ceremonies....and then decorate all our friends front lawns with Christmas ornaments at 4am in June. Tibet and Nepal
