My Lineage
I was borne with a scaffolding upon which to drape the experiences and teachings my senses can receive. It was then ignored, absorbed, treasured or denied, amplified or diminished in a disproportionate manner, and run through the dynamics of a life lived in pursuit of both knowledge and peace. Sometimes these are at odds, as paradox is perpetual.
Creativity
Freedom
Risk
Love
These are the cornerstones of each moment and the structural amalgamation of all moments, the lineage is the mortar that has connected and bonded they’ve events, feelings, meanings and choices.
It is to these people, places and moments that I owe whatever flow and feeling of purpose and meaning I have ever mustered.
The following people, places and events are my tributaries and I am a great river destined to enter greater and greater rivers, eternally. Each one has joined with unique volume, velocity and and duration, making it both unpredictable and un-reproducible
