Myspace Backgrounds I have been told that i strive to exist in the paradox of paradise....nonetheless...as of now, I am a half east indian and half filipino surfer/grad student/musician/film maker/gypsy and have moved here from the Dutch West Indies in the Caribbean (st. maarten)...before that I lived in NYC for about 4 years..that was another life and lifetime ago, before that i lived and made doc films in India, I have traveled to 4 of the 7 continents and speak 6 languages...Now I am a student once again at UW studying international studies with a focus in South Asia. My goal in life is to study the many aspects of MYSTICISM found in South Asia and to make Doc Films about them as well as teach what I have been fortunate enough to learn in my lifetime...
If you are wondering truly about me i can only offer 3 hints, 3 quotes, 3 reasons i am still happy...a little hint...
"Have patience with everything in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answers."
-Rilke
-There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And then there are those who give like the myrtle breathes its fragrance unto the fields, and it is through these people's eyes that God's light truly shines.
-The Prophet, by Khalil Gibran
"Those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
