My self-summary
My life is infinitely complicated. I am a dweller of the edges, between land and sea and sky, between art and science, between thinking and feeling. I am a naturalist on a Bodhisattva path to discover the theory of everything so that I can help the world alleviate suffering and bring balance to the universe! (Or the force. Or maybe just my bicycle.) My claim to fame is continuing the work of Maslow and his hierarchy of needs. I'm using those edges to combine the work of Maslow, Ken Wilber, physics, biology, and math into one grand theory of growth.

My love life story: I'm married, but currently "alone" I suppose. A while back my husband got worried that I didn't need him anymore, had an existential crisis, wound up being uncharacteristically mesmerized by lots of blinking lights, loud ritualistic drumming, some E, and several other woman who desperately needed someone, and he begrudgingly decided to make a commitment to healing them, rather than be with me. So... he ventured off on his "I'm going to find myself" mid-life-crisis-affair away-mission Borderline-test, or whatever you want to call it, while I do my best to wait as patiently as possible (which doesn't always work out so well, as you can imagine) for him to figure out who he is and get back to me. :-)

In the meantime I'm always open to meeting new friends and collaborators who are also on a path to understand life, growth, and how to become awesome...

I am messy, brilliant, and bioluminescent

What I’m doing with my life
Studying the universe, noticing the patterns of life, and reporting my findings back to the human race, with the goal of creating real superheros to save us from ourselves!

As my alter-ego Super Turtle, I have a superhero platform of seeking answers to the some what bland but really useful questions:

1. Who am I?
2. What can I do?
3. Who are you?
4. What can we do together?

Having come up with the answers to numbers one and two (I'm Super Turtle! And I can think really well and make amazing things with discarded and unwanted stuff!), I'm now focusing on that third question. I want to know who you are. I want to know what your super powers are. I want to know what kind of world you're going to create with your powers. And I want to know if you'd like to listen to me read children's books to you and then have a deep and meaningful and fun philosophical discussion about them!

I’m really good at
Philosophy. Creating a better world. Consciousness and armchair brain science. Exploring nature. Armchair metaphysics. (SEED magazine is my favorite reading material.) Making cool stuff from recycled materials. Trashpicking. Being a superhero. Playing with energy and seeing what I can do with it. And making people think in ways that they aren't always entirely comfortable with!

Also, I'm pretty good at categorizing things. I can even categorize YOU over on my OK Cupid test at: The Spiraling Upwards Test.

The first things people usually notice about me
My tattoo "I am for you". (It represents various things, with a core meaning of my goal in life, which is to offer truth, beauty, and goodness to the world to create a healthier, happier, more sustainable place for life to exist in. It also reminds me to be present and attentive to the people who I happen to be with when I am with them.)

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I went raw back in the summer of 2007 when my husband left me. Going raw/living food has been the best thing I've ever done for myself, I think. Alas, my current situation has made it difficult for me to stay raw, and I have a major weakness for pizza (with the cheese taken off), potato chips, vegan pad thai, and chocolate, when I fall off the raw wagon.

As for pop culture, I suppose saying that I've been a lifelong Doctor Who fan should be a short path to describing my tastes in media. But I take my fiction in small, intense doses, as reality is far more interesting to me, and I indulge in all sorts of exploratory media as often as possible. If philosophy/hard-science/psychology-sociology/nature books were food, I'd be morbidly obese!

The six things I could never do without
Contraction and expansion and everything that's in between.

Or...

-1, 0, and 1.

Or, food, water, air, warmth, light, and the freedom to express my body's excess matter and energy.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Life, the universe, and everything. Especially the human relationship to it all.

And wondering who will be the one to help my husband wake up and discover that he deserves to be that amazing man he wants to be. :-)

The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I'm willing to admit to anything that is the truth. I'm a believer that secrets and dishonesty are the biggest causes of suffering in the world.

  • For new friends, activity partners
You should message me if
You are also brilliant, not afraid of being a real human being, interested in exploring the universe, willing to be a friend to someone who's life goes nearly perpendicular to the grain, and who is curious about this amazing and bizarre and occasionally scary woman who knows that she knows nothing, while also having some really beautiful, good, and true things to offer the world.

If you are interested in having all your beliefs about what is possible rewritten, I'm definitely the woman to talk to!
