About me:
As I type this, a few weekends ago, I got to sit in on acoustic guitar with a bluegrass band consisting of no fewer than 10 musicians at any given moment. Yesterday, I helped one of my creative writing students find someone to tutor her in math. Today, my fourth period's reading of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House was interrupted by some loud talking outside. My students, who normally get excited at such a break in their work, actually became irritated because they were thoroughly enjoying the play.
I've been studying Taoism for several months now, and much of this affects how I approach life. In that sense, I'm afraid that there really isn't much to say. To say that I do such and such for fun and I believe in this or that is to limit my enjoyment of life. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like much fun, right?
So, I'll just leave it at saying that I love to experience life. I am happiest wherever my feet may wander, be it on a crowded street or in an open pasture. I'll try anything more than once.
Each moment holds something beautiful, and I'm not about to shortchange myself on any other experiences just because I think I won't like something.
I'm in the process of getting a vegetable garden going at my house, I shall at some point get my Master's Degree, most likely in English Education. I'm working to publish a book of my poems, and have plans to visit Africa. At the moment, though, I'm happily enjoying my days as a high school World Literature and Creative Writing teacher.
As for you, dear reader, whomever you are - be simple, be patient, and be kind. More importantly, know yourself. If life brings us together, then so be it.
Who I'd like to meet:
You.
