I was swept up to Thee by Thy beauty, and torn away from Thee by my own weight St. Augustine

About Me

Daniel Jordan once referred to culture as the ubiquitous educator of mankind. My life seems to have been a continuous succession of epiphanies bringing me to the harsh reality that I need to drop out. The gradual acceptance of my unbridled passion as the engine of my life, my life as a servant of humanity, and the Baha’i Faith as the most sophisticated system I have ever had access to will put my personal evolution in a nutshell if I must. My art, the voice of my soul, has taken a center place in my life and has become the vehicle through which I feel I can best serve humanity. To share that intimate moment of divine intercourse with the world and to let that instantaneous judge that presides over the court of all dilemma guide me from now on. That’s me for now.

"I have no passion"

Is passion accessible to all?  Does it lie buried within the dust of your apathy or can someone live without it?  What a tragedy to send one on the search of that which does not exist, to gi...
