math/computing student/tutor, freelance artist, volunteer, philosopher

http://davidchmelik.hostcell.net

lifelong Natural Hygienist vegan. Einstein said vegetarianism would ensure human survival, and now the American Dietetic Association wrote a good vegetarian diet helps prevent and treat chronic diseases (if only they studied veganism.)

The art in my photos area is not my own. It is either public domain or I use by 'fair use'--OTOH Fox/Myspace says it can freely use what people upload for advertising.

I also have a page at Facebook.com. It is not so developed but has more privacy options, so I recommend trying both.

What Greek Goddess are you?

You are Athena!
You are Athena!
Born from the head of Zeus himself, this goddess is the most respected and capable of all the goddesses. Like this goddess of defensive warfare, crafts and wisdom, you are courageous as a warrior, cunning as a fox, and wise beyond your years. You do not try to be a leader, but you are one merely because you have the raw material that renders admiration and followers. Though you may not know it...you have the world at your feet. But since you are wise, you will not allow this newfound knowledge to go to your head.
How do you compare?

    Abstract Algebra Seems rather difficult. It is very fast pace, and you need to know your stuff, or you can fall behind. Psych 101 was fun. Took it a while ago at Rogue.

    aum..



    WAKING UP, WE ARE THE KNOWER OF PURPOSE.



    as we ascend in the realization to be a part of all, the more
    of collectives joys and pleasures we feel in the oneness that we
    become.
    we know
    to be at the receiving end of grace to cause happiness and address
    collective
    pains. in our doing is inspired work of source.
    in our knowing is joy
    and
    lightness. in our journey is transformation of human to angel.

    compassion and
    abundance flows naturally and humanity ascends.
    as ARIVEN, we are the
    awake-
    gently prodding humanity to its beautiful momentum of
    transformation.





    all in perfect abundant grace!






    Be Awake = Be Ariven
