Nature lover. Politically left of liberal, with a libertarian streak. Agnostic about the religious stuff. Friend of The Family. Altruistic cynic. Cranky hedonist. Lazy artist. Outdoors type who doesn't read the sports pages. I probably think too much and I tend to speak my mind.
I dream of the simple life, far from the madding crowds.
"to be nobody-but-yourself--in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
--e.e. cummings
"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion." --Thomas Paine
"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness." --John Muir
"Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish." --Anonymous
