I am an eternally creative, spontaneous, curious person...I am constantly learning! I love having long intense conversations with people and finding little niches filled with local artistic jewels. My spirituality is by far the most important thing in my life- I am a devotee of Ammachi, also known as the Hugging Saint...I had the opportunity to recieve Her hug May '09. She's pretty much awesome. :)
I take my relationships very seriously and am very loyal to the ones I love. I tend to have a few close friends rather than a bunch of aquaintances. I respect polyamorous folks but don't identify that way personally. I like to spend long hours alone with my guitar. I'm really a 12-year old boy...I'm the person you see dancing by myself while standing in line at winco, hear burst out singing in public, making sound effects for random movements, and playing air guitar on the max. I'm constantly seeking new avenues of self expression and I am very inspired by the creative visions of others. I am a feminist-activist intellectual pagan poet and I love existing between the questions.

Shortly after I graduated from college with my B.S. in Psychology, I began working full-time as a domestic violence and sexual assault advocate. I am very passionate about the work I do and I never go home feeling like I just wasted 8 hours of my life.

Being myself... :) Seriously, I love meeting new people and broadening my horizons everyday. I am a spiritual person and I meditate regularly- I am very into the tarot, astrology, hinduism and goddess worship. I love sculpting, painting, writing poetry, and generally existing in a continuously playful, creative state unhindered by standards of how I 'should' act or see the world. Music is by far my favorite method of self expression- I play guitar and often get inspired to write songs.

My hair, my unique aura (they say it matches my guitar). I'm told I have a great deal of patience.

Love, spirit, friends, self-expression, music, blurring the definitions

Spiritual things, how to love others radically, existential questions, affirming myself and others, what role I play in helping to eliminate some of the pain in the world

Often I'm reconnecting with friends/ being out and about in my community, whether at a bar, open mic, someone's house, or a satsang. About half the time I opt to spend some precious time alone in a creative cocoon.

Sometimes I have a hard time letting go of the past. But i'm learning
