I'm especially interested in people who are working, or trying to work, in the arts. Anyone who feels that "poetry is not a luxury". Anyone engaged in a search of some kind. People who are serious about laughter and compassion. People who listen to music while doing absolutely nothing else. People who love abstraction. People who think of kindness as if it's a religon. Anyone who has strong feelings about penguins. Anyone developing there own mythology. People who feel that a rain-soaked stone wall can be as beautiful as any DaVinci or Picasso. People who are polyattentive. Those who have affection for randomness and non-sequitors. People who live in trees. And I'd love to meet a few uncorrupted people who have never been on myspace.
