About Me



Have you reckoned a thousand acres much? Have you reckoned the earth much? A bit lost in the universe, trying to find happiness, and finding it rather difficult to achieve for very long. I try to be grateful. I try to check in. I need to do more yoga. I know I crave art. I want to contribute to the creative universe. But how? Words, music, pictures make this world more tolerable, more emotional, more human. A purely moving visceral expression of the soul. Do I contradict myself? I am large...I contain multitudes.

And the Resolutions are...

Major relief. 2006 is now history. To be honest, it wasn't a horrible year by any means...just stagnation. Idleness. Lack of ambition. No real hopes. No real dreams. In my memoirs, 2006 will be one p...

The Gods in the Body by Edward Carpenter
