About Me and My Life
I have served in the military and have known war,but also know peace! Served as a firefighter and E.M.T. for 20 year´s so i know the face of death,also do i know the face of life! Both fear,and fearlessness in the face of death! Have known gain and have lost everything!I have received honor´s and experienced betrayal! Have lived in luxury,and have been homeless! Experienced great Love and heartache! Seen some of the most beautiful sites the world has to offer,and some of the ugliest! Lost loved ones,family and friend´s, along the way! Yet have made and met new ones! Great joy and sadness! Have seen and experienced humanity at it´s best and at it´s worst! Been in the audience of the Pope,a president, and a Governor! Have met celebrities! Held the balance of life and death in my hand´s many times! Lived in light and i have lived in darkness! I have experienced the dichotomy of life! And Know the duality of life for what it is! This has been the life I lived! Who am I ?My life is the life of every man and every women,who has gone before,and who is yet to be born,and this face is the face of every man and every woman,that ever lived and who is yet to be born! I stand as a testimonial of those who have gone,and those who are yet to be born! But forever i shall alway´s seek for truth,[not a believed truth,but for real truth!] wherever i may find it! To seek the good in life! To perform that which is good and right action!To speak and think aright! And to better understand life,myself,and other´s! Forever seeking that which is the highest light!
My Interests/Hobbies
Hiking,Kayaking,skiing,yoga,Chi-Gong!...All the beauty that this world has to offer,the greatest literature,the purest in poetry,the most beautifully composed music,art and architecture.The best in philosophical,spirutual and religious thought!To seek the highest of understanding and knowledge! To find the good in people and help bring that out! The highest ideal´s! The highest light! To find the best that is within myself and bring that forth! To know the truth and live by that truth! The highest spiritual principles! To live a life with meaning,love and integrity! I have travelled much but have yet to climb the Rockie´s,himilaya´s,and andes! Have not seen aurora borealis or australeous! I have not really known Love! These are some of my favorite thing´s
Favourite Books
Have quite a collection of hundred´s of book´s,mostly philosophy and spirituality!The Bible,Bhagavad Gita,Upanishad´s,Teaching´s of the Bhudda,to name but a few! Anything uplifting or inspiring! Or else in seeking knowledge! But also i love a good story!
Favourite Movies
Adventure movie´s mostly´like indiana jones,lord of the ring´s,star war´s,jet li,jackie chan.But also like comedy and some drama.
Favourite Music/Album/Song
Mostly rock,soft rock.A little country,some jazz,have to love the genius of the classical composer´s,some new age like enya,native american and aztec flute music!
Favourite TV Shows
I follow lost,heroes,legend of the seeker! Not watching a lot of t.v. these day´s.Will watch some situational comedies at times.Mostly it seem´s a waste of time.
Favourite Sports
Have done so many!I played football,basketball,baseball,hockey ,swimming,some track and martial art´s.[would put the true martial art´s at the top,but consider true martial art´s,more of an art form than sport.]Never had the opportunity,but alway´s loved gymnastic´s the best.I think they are the purest athletes,grace,power,takes the greatest concentration,courage,and training!Pound for pound i think they are the strongest athletes in the world.School´s i attended did not have any program´s for it though.
Scared of
Not having really lived, and Loved!
Happiest When
Happiness, is a state of being,not in getting!Not dependent on any person,place or thing!For that which bring´s one pleasure,is also what bring´s one pain!That is the dichotomy of life!Therein lies the crux!
