CURRENT MISSION

metamorphose into my truest self

ABOUT ME

Sociable, interested in everything. "There is no such thing as a boring place" (Jonathan Meades). And hopefully neither "person".

PHILOSOPHY

Endless puzzlement. Oh and "In a man's life there must come a time when his heart must either burst or turn to stone" (Nicholas Chamfort).

Interests

I like having lots of time in which to ponder time and waste time and feel at ease with time and propelled by time - not all the time, but some of the time. Interesting conversation, books and adventures. I like places where mountains descend into the sea. I like dusk and distances and woodsmoke in foreign countries.
