I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like to have fun and take joy in things present. I enjoy sunsets and hanging out by the ocean with friends, cycling in the forrest, camping in the mountains, fishing in the lakes. I like being a party animal and I like Solitude. I enjoy living in the world and living outside of it. Life is finding balance, it is the ying and the yang. I am divided and accepting that makes me whole. I am a man of the day and the night. In general, I look for things that give meaning to our existence here, I philosophize, I am a lover and a healer and refrain from violence as much as possible. Simplicity is a amazing thing to learn and learn well. The more simple your life becomes the more clearly you can see. Do or do not.
QUOTES:
Black Elk Oglala Sioux Holy Man1863-1950"You have noticed that everything as Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours....Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves."
Mourning Dove Salish1888-1936"...... everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence."

Good Quotes:

The old Mayan story teller states: And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"
