About Me

"So, to abandon yourself to the unknown of the doing-is all that's left, only the reflection of the passing of time-but sharply visible-made so-as this act of making is lived out. And, then you move into the next, like a strange and new clock, warping Time into becoming a frightening new other place, a land in which there is no rock and no "nothing". What is there, then? There is only the next doing which leads only to the next doing. A lifetime of doing?" -Philip Guston 1978 ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A human being is part of the whole called by us "universe", a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. -Albert Einstein, 1954
