| Bio: | "I go where true love goes, I go where true love goes..." -- Yusuf Islam :Do you remember in kindergarten,how you'd meet a kid, and know nothing about them, then 10 seconds later you'd be playing like you were best friends, because you didn't have to be anyone but yourself?" -- Gabriella Montez, High School Musical "The best thing for being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies. You may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins. You may miss your only love. You may see the world around you devastated by evil lunatics or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it, then: To learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you." -- T.H. White, The Once and Future King My gender is male though I somehow feel more at home with my Amelie avatar than I've felt with any in a while. :) Geeky. Clumsy. Weird. Other labels that have been (or might be) used to describe me: anarchist, idealist, bibliophile, linguaphile, visionary, "sustainability freak," hopeless romantic, INFP (Myers Briggs), 4w5 sexual (Enneagram), and an intrapersonal learner (according to multiple personalities theory.) Though I don't think I can be captured by labels and I generally eschew them. I'm a passionate person with a lot of big ideas and a strong desire to make the world a better place. I've done a lot of volunteering around the US and Germany. I've done natural building internships the last couple years and I'd love to build a really cool natural house. How about one shaped like a mushroom?! I love trying to live more simply and sustainably. I'm working to help start an alternative school in my community. I'm thinking about doing a program in massage sometime in the near future. I have so many interests, the possibilities are exciting, but overwhelming! There's nothing I love more than getting insanely silly and laughing and doing weird stuff with friends (though that happens all too rarely, and the precise nature of my silliness is really hard to describe unless you're there with me in the moment.) I want to be more silly more often. And I feel like I'm in my element when I'm traveling and exploring new places with friends. I like soaking up the simple pleasures of life: feeling the cool wind on my face and my skin on the grass, or noticing how the water feels on my body when I'm swimming in a lake, or cuddling. I'm extremely affectionate and find myself prone to "cuddle scurvy." I love the smells and tastes of autumn. I love the blossoms and the hopefulness of spring. I like drinking tea out of a big mug. I like learning to cook all sorts of things simple and exotic. I spend a lot of time reading, watching movies, being in nature, walking, listening to music. I love anything having to do with water. I'm always reading. I enjoy learning languages (have studied German, Spanish, Welsh) though I haven't found much time for this lately. I like playing the guitar (or trying to), learning to sew and make things (I'd love to try leatherwork), herbs, ecology, traveling, exploration, photography, going on road trips, volunteering, going to festivals of all kinds, making things, playing RPGs, raiding bookshops, finding new things to get excited about. The last couple years I've been dealing with relatively benign symptoms of Kundalini Awakening. I don't understand the process, and I guess it means something different to everyone who experiences it, but I'm wary of attaching labels to the process or explaining away the significance of it. Still, in light of this, I've become extremely interested in connections between sexuality and spirituality, and the connection of both to transformation. I appreciate and draw from all sorts of spiritual traditions. Lately I'm especially interested in Thich Nhat Hanh and mindfulness practice. I'm also interested in a wide variety of healing practices. I just try to follow my heart, enjoy life to the fullest, create and appreciate beauty, experience awe and joy and struggle and compassion and all those things that are human. I try to live as a healer in the broadest sense. All this isn't really me of course. It's just a description of how I understand myself at this moment. The most exciting thing is how I grow and come to understand myself anew. | |||||
