My vision statement
I am Living my life deliberately by continuously acting according to my Intentions. My intentions and Actions are informed by a deep and honest Understanding of reality—the universe, others, and myself. Every day, I try to “suck all the marrow out of life” through a pursuit of Beauty, Meaning, and Wisdom. In this quest, I use Walking as a platform for understanding and Creating for myself and others. I take photographs, catch Poetry, and write notes that I combine into beautiful essays and books that I hope inspire others to also live deliberately.
To support myself in My quest, I take care of my mind and body so that I am always at my best state moment by moment. Mindful that my actions always affect others, I practice Compassion as much as I can and strive to always deepen my connection with fellow humans and other sentient beings. I have also mastered my relationship with the material world: I support myself through meaningful work, use resources efficiently, and limit my interaction with the exchange economy by developing Self-reliance.
