About Me

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and Iâ€”
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.."
--Robert Frost
Nor will his vision of the
beautiful take the form
of a face,
or of hands,
or of anything that is of the flesh.
It will be neither words
nor knowledge,
nor a something that exists
in something else, such as
a living creature, or the earth,
or the heavens,
or anything that is --
but subsisting of itself
and by itself in an eternal oneness,
while every lovely thing
partakes of it in such
sort that however much
the parts may wax and
wane, it will be neither
more nor less, but still
the same
inviolable whole.
--Plato, Symposium 210a-211b
The world is an ocean of voices. There are those that sink slowly beneath icy waters never to be heard, others float to the top like offal, some ride the ebbing tide before littering the beaches as debris, and a few claw their way through mud, silt, and sand in order to find their way to the shore. For nearly three decades I have tried to find my voice, only to realize that I used it on the very first day when I screamed out in shock as I dived the birth canal.

My Interests

My three greatest loves are academics, art, and music and those who come through those paths are often the quickest to reach my heart.

I'd like to meet:

Real People
Yahoo ID: kybenal
MSN: kybenal at hotmail.com

I'm not interested in fifteen minutes of fame or making a name; I want to build a dream that is more enduring than wealth and a distorted sense of self.

Music:

I have yet to find any music I cannot learn something from; and I do not have to like music to appreciate it.

Books:

The Great Conversation, On the Road, The Doors of Perception, Beyond Heaven and Hell, Juliet, The Story of O, Stranger in a Strange Land, 1984, The Holy Bible, and Textbooks, textbooks, textbooks.

Today was a good day,The clouds were loud,The birds were frightened,We were enlightened,And there was another tomorrow,At the end of another dark day.
