I am optimistic, grateful, and life lovin'.
My Self-Summary
My guiding principle is to remember and remind that we are all pure
love and creativity at the core, so I look for that in everyone -
no matter how they seem at any moment.
I meditate to get centered in the magic!
There is nothing to possess, and no one to own. Being already whole
and complete, I can give of myself completely.
Focused intention in the vortex of music, drumming, dance, or
nature is the altered state I prefer. (Best shared with a soulful
sweet lover...) I am just as happy simply home and cozy as I am
wilderness camping, wildly dancing, or traveling to...
I choose to apply my precious life and inspiration to the paradigm
shift we are moving through. How about you?
What I’m doing with my life
Finding out how much I can learn about and heal in myself and
others.
Assisting the emergence of the beautiful and harmonious world we
know is possible. One way I give myself to this is through rites of
passage initiation for boys.
My life is about stepping ever farther down the path. There is no
"there" to get, rather a greater now to expand into, so it's not
the goal-it's the journey.
I have been a carpenter for 25 years. That is now much harder to
sustain, so I am a web site designer as well. At last I am
developing a business plan fulfilling a dream project that has
lived in me for 24 years. It will make a big difference in how
people live sustainably on this Planet. If I do not respond
instantly, I may be deeply focused on this.
I'm Dad to three extraordinary daughters, two 15 and 16 who are in
high school, who I share peacefully with their mom that lives
nearby, and another, 24, who is in college.
I love to drum, and play Samba, Afro - Cuban, and free form at
classes, events, circles, and parades. I am again practicing with
my guitar so I can share all those songs I wrote before I
discovered percussion.
I am active in progressive politics. I know way too much to remain
silent.
I love to attend and co-create transformational experiences.
I’m really good at
...listening for others to discover their own wisdom, which is
there inside all the time.
...being clear about what I feel and why, and communicating.
...shifting the vibe with every one I encounter.
...finding out what I'm really good at!
The first things people usually notice about me
...is that I do not fit the usual categories.
...is that I'm noticing a lot about the deeper you.
I am known to radiate a comforting sense of peacefulness and
positivity. I am found to be practical and idealistic at the same
time.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I loved Bradbury and Heinlein back in the day. I've been into
things about the science/spirit convergence like "The Isaiah
Effect" by Greg Braden for awhile. Poetry is so nice, history gets
me quickly. I am now in a study group for E-Myth Mastery, a course
about how to cultivate the visionary entrepreneurial mind.
I've never owned a TV and I don't see a lot of movies, but I love
some of them when I do go. I am so not a sports guy. I would rather
push against my own limitations than win a contest. When I work
with teams, it is to create what only synergy can.
Music is far more my passion. I am a percussionist, so I get out to
most of the lively stuff. The sweet and mellow ones move me
too.
As for food-make it organic, please!
The six things I could never do without
The Mystery
Compassion
Patience
Breath
Nature
Music
I spend a lot of time thinking about
...how things are going with our Planet. I check in to notice if my
thinking is affirmative or habitual and limited (preferably
habitually affirmative)
On a typical Friday night I am
...dancing or deep in conversation or following threads online or
driving my kids around or playing my drums or wondering whimsically
about you.
It's not particularly important that it is Friday, unless that is
when something great is happening.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Do you really want to know? Well, then....
(I kept writing things here, but as soon as I posted them they were
no longer private, so I immediately deleted them. There's nothing
left about my private life to write. Sorry you missed it!)
You should message me if
...you are ready to discover that the best is yet to come...you are
independent yet willing to grow a deep connection...you love wild
music just as much as the sound of the sea or a trickle of water in
the mountains...if you love who you are and excited about who you
are becoming...you sense that this life is an episode in a greater
journey, and you want to share it with a strong yet gentle man...
