PHILOSOPHY

Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty...Anne Herbert

And the wisdom to know the difference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen... Lightening and thunder...NYC at night from atop of the Empire State Building... Sukothai... Borobudur ... Tikal and Pagan pagodas as far as the eye can see...
Done...ate rattlesnake [ I am a vegatarian]...resuscitated a baby pig.
But as I get older it seems to me the most amazing things come from having gratitude for the simple things and helping others along the way.
