I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


namaste...
living right now and soaking up my life and experiences like a sponge puts on a smile on my face all day...i can see my reflection in you....
sunny days keep me warm...the rain nourishes the earth...clarity has improved my attitude~JM
my mantra is of health and happiness, peace and contentment... many prayer wheels spun while graced with an experience in india and nepal in march and april....
i want to sail from the west coast to the south pacific... do you have a crew job for me?...
mother nature is rad......
i wear my heart on my sleeve......
is it better to trust even though i may be wrong?...
one leg is slightly longer than the other......
my competitive spirit is a healthy one......
i enjoy learning what you are passionate about......
teach me odd facts, else i'll teach you a few......
i dislike hypocrites......
the isle of maui was home for a summer. i dream of disappearing into the jungles of kaua'i.....
i thrive on music live ......
i find the spiritual in the natural....
i love singing LOUDLY while driving......
share with me a book or a movie that makes me think......
it is not my place to decide when another being relinquishes life......
i am fond of thesauruses......
networking is essential......
be synergenic..........
i am pleased to find people that get me......
i am elated when i know myself....
to know your world, know yourself......
accept yourself......
work with what you've got......
have compassion without expectation....
i love to ride my bicycle, i love to ride my bike....
every being has a place
Paradoxes....
we have more conveniences yet less time...
more leisure yet less fun...
more degrees yet less common sense...
more knowledge yet less judgements...
more medicine yet less wellness...
more kinds of food yet less nutrition...
more experts yet less problem solving...
more possesions yet reduced values...
we have added years to life, not life to years...
we spend more yet have less...
we buy more yet enjoyit less...
we've conquered outer space but not inner peace...
life is a chain of moments of enjoyments, not just about survival...
breath deeply...
appreciate your neighbours...
search for knowledge...
search for understanding...
live, love, learn and laugh
dancers spin the essence of my heart while drums emulate its beat

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

teachers, gurus, sages, the experienced, the divine, the creative, the fun and the funny, people who challenge me, people who care, people who appreciate reciprocity, tom robbins, the guys from fishbone, people who make a difference in the world in small ways and don't get acknowledgement, peace keepers, my match, musicians, other NOW lovers....
