Making music, photography, poetry, painting, basketball, speaking in tounges like spanish/italian/french/arabic, learning new languages to understand peoples and poetry sans translation (traduttore traditore), viewing the world through new eyes by immersion, learning myself, singing out loud, exploring sound, and learning to understand life.
Oh yeah, and I'm bringing back the art of toe-tapping!

I live where soundwaves engulf my soul and kindle the flames of my spirit down to sub-atomic levels that vibrate love throughout my being like the breath of life... (((Aum))) I live in a world where a thought can make you stop on a dime, and force you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Enjoy living. I live in a plain where brush strokes dance out of the canvas and waltz with my imagination, soaking their dyes into my soft mortality. I need no ink on my skin, as my identity sings itself into presence through actions and words, branded into my essence like a vision of growth with overtones of perennial epiphanies standing guard. I live in a world where hope takes flight, but where it also must labor to make a nest and build home. Harvest. Where a whole becomes half only to become whole again. Where a longing is heard muffled like a whisper through the damp eve of summer dying. I am reborn again each day in a land where the road of wisdom can take you through warzones and famine, but it can also take you to mountain tops where the gentle air of consciousness reigns with a compassionate touch. I live in a place where silence is sacred openness, and joy is to be celebrated with dance. Where poems reunite you with lost brothers and sisters that you never knew you had. Where the only rhythm you march to is the beating in your chest. I live to live and to love, together. To hold dear to me and nurture that which is true and pure, and to share the indelible beauty of the world with those with the clarity of sight to see and appreciate. The beauty that surrounds you. The beauty within you. The beauty of living.
