Basic Information
I Would Describe Myself As
the gift of the other, the mirror, is a rare treasure, in such a soul one truly sees oneself. to walk down the path of life, fearlessly as a shaman, a wonderer, mystic, as a child, is a being i resonate with. seeking the road less traveled in wild places, contemplating the inner world of ones being. loving themselves and as in the tao te ching , “ know the male but keep to the female”, in the nurturing sense. the passions i identify with are numerous. first and foremost is living simple, causing no harm and being a slave to no one. in that vain, i live in a solar house/studio, have a rain water collection system, composting toilet and recently built a rocket stove for cooking outdoors.. i practice permaculture principles at home and my work as a re-wilding garden designer. to quote scott nearing ( a god in my opinion ) “ pay as you go , to live debt free and a slave to no man.” this guy is no city dweller, i feel most alive in the wild with tall grass and oak/hickory forests. toiling in a garden, biking, running, backpacking, hiking, are all ways i keep the body in shape and being conscious of food as medicine. as an ex-monk, spirituality is life long fascination to me. christianity, buddhism, hinduism, they all fascinate but if i had to identify with any one story it would be the animist path. consciousness is a fractal and one never ceases to learn the inner world of ones divine origin. since i was a boy art has been a huge part of my life. fierce beauty, a beauty that doesn’t look away from decay or chaos but embraces it. working in nature and doing the inner work fuels my studio playtime! we live in a most interesting time in the evolution on humanity. the collective conscious is on the cusp of great change, possibly becoming and totally different being. i want to be a catalyst, a conduit, in this exciting time and i want to manifest others of like mind into my reality.

on the spiritual path, one has to go inward and see the light and darkness that is us. the place they meet is non-duality. on the high road, one does not want to knowingly create suffering to any conscious entity, be it mineral, plant or animal. to look away from the suffering of any entity is not opening up but closing up to LIFE. everyone is somewhere on the continuum. consciousness is a fractal, continuing to expand, never ending. all souls have to get to a place where they see where they collude in the suffering and opt out. there is no judgement for it's only a matter of time and space. the man who understands this and fearlessly embraces LIFE, is who I seek.
