Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Encouraging exploration, liberation, and curiosity. Promoting self-lessness, unity, and creativity.
ABOUT ME
I play guitar and sing in the band Key of V and am a recent graduate. I embrace change but appreciate stability--summoning the prudence to choose only the best of each for my life.
PHILOSOPHY
We all inherently know what to do. Since we have become experts at forgetting, recollection is our task. Once we have recalled, it is our responsibility to remind others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have seen people turn their lives around, going from being near-death to bursting with life. These people inspire and change me. They are the flowers of my reality :)

After Work
The shack and a few trees
float in the blowing fog
I pull out your blouse,
warm my cold hands
on your breasts.
you laugh and shudder
peeling garlic by the
hot iron stove.
bring in the axe, the rake,
the wood
we'll lean on the wall
against each other
stew simmering on the fire
as it grows dark
drinking wine.
