I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Layout made by BabyFace <I am an idealist and a dreamer of dreams. I am a thinker, a lover, a seeker of wisdom and truth. I possess a giving spirit, an open mind and a loving heart. I believe in the power of love and the value of human kindness. I strive for peace within and without and believe that worry fear are useless pursuits, though I find it hard to rid myself of them. I value compassion, intelligence, vision, eloquence, open mindedness, critical thinking, spirituality, wisdom and the seeking of wisdom. I love intelligent conversation and vibrant debate. I treasure my friendships and believe a stranger is only a friend you have not yet met. I love deeply; in spite of the anguish this has caused, I still believe in the transforming power and inherent necessity of love.

Reflections on Saint Augustine

So today's class discussion revolved, in part, around The Confessions of Saint Augustine.  Though someone had told me months ago that I would relate to him, I had my doubts.  After all, St. ...

Painful musings

I sit alone, once again attempting to drown my pain in a bottle.  The genie in the bottom only lies, yet it offers me temporary, mediocre respite.  Just when I think there cannot possibly be...

Officially Crazy

This piece is different for me - sort of a stream-of-consciousness type of thing that just poured out with little thought.  I would be interested in any feedback, positive or otherwise... Officia...
