When I'm old, I don't want them to say of me, "She's so charming." I want them to say, "Be careful, I think she's armed." - G. Stoddart

"We do not really know what draws a human being out into the world. Is it curiosity? A hunger for experience? An addiction to wonderment? The man who ceases to be astonished is hollow, possessed of an extinguished heart. If he believes that everything has already happened, that he has seen it all, then something most precious has died within him – the delight in life." - Ryszard Kapuscinski

I am neither as old as I seem, or as young as I look.

I am a tech geek by trade.

I am the impatient Buddha.

I am the dragon and the otter, balanced.

I am a catalyst.

I am a storyteller.

I would love to let you in...

"I've got walls, I've got wings

I am ready for the fire

I've got trust in nothing

see I lost it by and by

but I've got something shining somewhere

honey I dream on the sly..."

- Chris Pureka, Come Back Home
