About: Answers to Everything

Transcendentalism is my denomination. Love is my revolution. Poets and gardeners are my heroes. A commitment to non-violence is my provocation and vocation in communication. I have been many people and lived many lives. But never enough life.

The hardest story to tell, is the story we tell others of ourselves. The once upon a time of who we think we are, from the flawed lens of a reality constructed on a madman’s dictionary. All to find in the end, to find neither Freud nor Marx were entirely right. The truth will find a way. Don’t let me proceed. The needle always leaves the hay.

Questions: Answers to Nothing.

Design: We live in a genre breaking time.

How do we find sustainable meaning? How do we collaborate, grow and learn? How do we contribute? How do we create? And why? How can technology contribute to our exploration of medium? How can we explore dimensionality in cross dimensional artforms? What new art forms and meanings are now possible? What stories are important to tell? What ignorance’s are important to challenge? What fears are important to follow? All in the name of art we go?

Writing: Words become flesh.

Can we see together? Can we question the self deception? Can the other know the self? What new structures can we tell our stories in? What new seeds should we plant? What is the meaning of love and life and the great American dream in the face of a stark American reality? Are there any useful stories out there? Does a story need to be useful? What is the point of beautiful words? Do people read anymore? Has technology and instant gratification destroyed the book?

Communication: Transforming abuse.

What needs to happen in order to transform the violence in communication into positive connection? How can we build fulfilling synergistic relationships? How do we identify the control structures and their impact on the way we see one another and ourselves? What is real? What do you see? What do I see? Who am I? Who are you?

Leadership: What does it mean?

How can I contribute to a better world? How can I help build a strong and happy team? How can I be a better citizen? A better community member? How can I rise from crisis management into the overview? How can I start proactively building and creating the necessary and desired future? Does the whole world really conspire when you set out to do good things?

What is most real? It’s all relative in the end.

My mother loves me. Always.
Danced through closing restaurants while going to school.
My brothers will always be my best friends
Climb mountains with strong women
Ashland Oregon, SOU – The foundation of my education and association. This love of literature is a pilgrimage
My own private Oregon
Meet me on the road. I will be reading Kerouac
Almost twins, this brother and I. We have learned to be counterbalances.
We drove long miles
Always touch the source
Family halves make good wholes. We both carry my father’s name .
If I run, may I run far and return at the appropriate time. With a friendly dog by my side.
