About Me

Almost a year suspending from the World Tree, glutting on perspective. Presently and historically, wading deeper into academia, tolerating capitalistic employment, and of course, insatiably pursuing the Great Work.

I'd like to meet:

Seeking alternative thinkers, energy experimenters, veil piercers, sustainable lifers, and warriors of the green world. It's time to share, work, and expand."The duty of the individual is to accept no rule, to be the initiator of his own acts, to be responsible. Only if he does so will the society live, and change, and adapt, and survive. We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society formed upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution. The Revolution is in the individual spirit, or it is nowhere. It is for all, or it is nothing. If it is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin. We can't stop here. We must go on. We must take the risks." -

Movies:

"You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere." -The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

Television:

"A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, — this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole." - The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin
