About Me

I like to make things from scratch, even if it takes hours, days, weeks. (though better hours) Like beer, or salsa verde, or a song. I like to live amongst beautiful things. To travel through osmosis outside of the limited scope of the game we all play, to emanate beyond the pale and into the rich deep color of existence.

mountains, laughing, yerba mate, stringed instruments, rivers, rocks, ropeswings, edges of continents, paintings, light falling, light in the eyes, furry things, cooking, making movies

I'd like to meet:

My ancestors and my great-great grandchildren. We could drink tea and get acquainted. Play a bit of lawn sports. That way, afterwards, you could bring your ancestors and I could bring mine.
