Hello. First things first: I hope you are healthy and happy.

Why am I involved in this online community? Not sure. I don't spend much time on the computer because life is so richly textured without it. But exchanging ideas with people is enjoyable. It makes me feel more creative and more expanded.

Right now the aspect of life that I most identify with is tai chi student and teacher. This type of tai chi is about more than exercise; it´s about dual cultivation of spirit (or character) and physical health.

I also spend considerable time nourishing my character through meditation and study, art and experience. I go to a Buddhist centre twice a week for group meditation, discussion, and devotional practice. I am mostly Buddhist and Taoist, tempered with Confucianism, and fireworked with animism. But I am not confused or undecided. I´m just pragmatic.

“The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside. And only he who listens can speak. Is this the starting point of the road towards the union of your two dreams- to be allowed in clarity of mind to mirror life and in purity of heart to mold it?”
- Dag Hammarskjold

“How many people are trapped in their everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent? To have a better life we must keep choosing how we're living.”
- Albert Einstein

My goals - overall - are not “SMART” goals. I do make “SMART” goals when I have a specific project wherein that will be useful. My more important goals are like stars by which I navigate my life. This is more useful to me.

Read my blog if you like. It's hard to describe oneself - one's scintillating, faceted, ever-changing self - in a few paragraphs.
