"I swear I will not dishonor my soul with hatred, but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as an architect of peace." - Diane Ackerman
I'm just happy to be here.

Horses, hiking, creative writing, reading, health care, medicine, meditation, travel, exploring new places, cooking multi-course meals, dreaming, getting enough sleep, swimming in the ocean, sunning on the beach, exercising body and mind, science, math, word games, music, dance, the black sands of Ho'okena, naturally formed lava saunas amidst guava and o'hia trees, pub crawling in the City, Guinness, absinthe, the intoxicating scent of night-blooming jasmine, walking in the rain, dinner parties, holding hands, raw food restaurants.
Interesting, kind-hearted, open-minded people. My ears are often piqued for a good story, and my spirit can always use a good laugh, so anyone who can fulfill those would probably be welcome. Quick-witted brainiacs are a plus. Hepcats are fun, too. As for the pompous and pretentious, they would be better off meeting someone else.

I'll watch anything from the classics to art-house. Chabrol to Herzog. Documentaries, indie flicks, re-runs at the New Beverly, campy thrillers, complex love stories, period pieces...anything but horror.
Currently reading technical writings (yawns versus yarns, much to my dismay). Some writers that I can't get enough of: Millay, Rilke, Yeats, Joyce, Parker, Cummings, Garcia Marquez, Hesse, Krakauer. Periodicals: the New Yorker, Harper's, JAMA, BMJ, the Townsend Letter, Scientific America Mind, Seed, Parabola. Bloggers: the inimitable Eric E. Butler .
