About Me

My favorite thing?? Listening to live music under a starry sky, it's been working for me~ I would love to leave the world a better place and work at making use of all my talents. We live in a world of war, greed, grief, tragedy, news burnout, injustice, environmental stress, and I want to do something,anything, to change that. I love to eat healthy and I think it's important to give your body the right fuel. I'm not a vegetarian, but the term "meat lovers" on a menu makes me ill. On Epicureanism: Epicurus believed that the greatest good was to seek modest pleasures in order to attain a state of tranquility and freedom from fear (ataraxia) as well as absence of bodily pain (aponia) through knowledge of the workings of the world and the limits of our desires. The combination of these two states is supposed to constitute happiness in its highest form. He argued that when eating, one should not eat too richly, for it could lead to dissatisfaction later."I want to share with you whatever I have that is good" --John Powell

My Interests

I think I'm finally getting it, inside, we are all the same, in that we seek happiness, and long to avoid suffering. I'm very interested in exploring spirituality, studying world religions of all kinds. They all bring us to the same place~~~inside ourselves, our hearts~~~~ I love nature and find a true joy being in beautiful surroundings. It's where I feel closest to God. I'm a musician and a drummer. I play acoustic rhythm guitar and I'm pretty good with all types of percussion, especially my new djembes from Ghana. (Thank you Jahpong!!) My real talent is singing harmonies, I give great harmony, ha ha ha. I love to read, travel and try new things. I swim like a fish, good paddler!~! ~kayaking/canoeing, Dragonboat Racing is so much fun! Fishing, gardening, staying green and true to Mother Earth. Also on the lengthy list, yoga, cycling, hiking and horse back riding.

I'd like to meet:
