Be Simple. Be Kind.

About Me

I enjoy reading (a lot), writing, thinking and am a contemplative-type person. I also enjoy philosophy (the study of wisdom) and research. Most important - SPIRITUALITY is important in my life and I believe that CONSCIOUSNESS is the content of life. I have many interests. I find plants to be amazing and I study their healing properties. I also am very interested in natural medicine and healing. I try to understand many different perspectives when examining life, people and ideas. -- Co-author of a forthcoming book on herbal adaptogens (details to follow in Spring 2007) -- Note: If current photo is not visible, see "View More Pics."

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet thinkers, writers and creative nonconformists; voyeurs of the mind, body and soul; explorers of inner consciousness (spiritual seekers); people who have similar interests; people who believe like me that: "Truth is one - Paths are many." People who think that beauty and truth are important... -IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE MY FRIEND ON MYSPACE: please make contact first as I am not collecting friends. I seek friends that I can communicate with and who will also communicate with me from time-to-time. Please don't feel bad if I do not accept you as a friend as I am limiting my number of friends for now...you can always message me. ALSO, please do NOT post large or blinking photos or video. Thanks ~

Music:

I prefer instrumental, folk, soft rock, kirtan and international music -- music with piano and/or guitar that flows with melody and rhythm. I also like music that has a trance-quality, with a mesmerizing rhythm and devotional lyrics... such as Hindu kirtan and other sacred music -- (I especially like Krishna Das). I like lovely voices, repetition, not too loud... New Age instrumental expansive music... Middle Eastern music has the right rhythm...

Movies:

I enjoy movies with some level of sensitivity. I like to get lost in the story and make friends with the characters. I enjoyed movies like: Pelican Brief, Meetings with Remarkable Men, Horse Whisperer, Dances with Wolves, Human Stain, Beautiful Mind, My Best Friend's Wedding, Groundhog Day, Pay it Forward, Dreamer, Proof... There are many great movies out there... I also appreciate the filmmakers and actors.

Television:

Television can be relaxing at the end of the day. Laughter is good... "Brothers and Sisters" is my favorite show of the season.

Books:

Scriptures: Bhagavad Gita, Genesis, Sayings of Jesus, Tao Te Ching. The simplicity of eastern wisdom: such as simple Zen or Chinese poems, the Sayings of the Masters from all traditions. Books: Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, Torah Studies by Rebbe Manachem Schneerson, Still Here by Ram Dass, and various texts on natural medicine.

Heroes:

Some teachers from my lifetime that have changed my life: Swami Satchidananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Shlomo Carlebach, Rajneesh, Ram Dass (and others).
