About me:
hello there...i hope this random moment finds you well. I'm interested in exposure to new ideas and experiences. I mainly would like to have as many epiphanies as possible. If you know something that would blow my mind, please tell me! As far as my own philosophy...here's where i'm at: Consciousness is the light, we are the prism. Love is the light, we are the rainbow! Or the other way around? Anyway I'm really interested in spirituality, specifically the present moment, the nature of consciousness, and practicing such activities as listening and sharing. I think these are good experiences to open one's mind and raise awareness. I feel like i'm slowly learning the lesson that spiritual practices which are not interpersonal in nature are at best ineffective, and at worst unhealthy. I tend to find metaphors interesting and paradox exciting. I made this layout with help from pYzam, Look at these other Layouts!

Who I'd like to meet:
I'm interested in converstations which will challenge my assumptions, because i believe not only will it open my mind, but it will be a chance for someone else to express his or her opinion. I'm also interested in meeting new people, because i believe it is a unique type of opportunity to not only step out of one's comfort zone, but it is an opportunity to engage in the spiritual practice of being genuine.

Hi. JWD gave me a book where: we smell slow moving matter, and hear faster moving stuff, and see light (a matter type) (faster moving stuff) when it touches other stuff, but there is faster moving things. There are many intelligent species on this planet and some see faster moving things, but to us they are would be too fast to sense. I should read you the page sometime, but the interest is sparked? Well, i don't mean to leave you hanging, maybe you don't like that, but patience please have...

Well I guess because I don't know where to have tea next to purple mountains a coffee shop will be ok. I don't really have one that I really like, just find myself wandering into them. What about you?
