i like to write pretty music too...
some of my favorite quotes are:
"Ever bigger machines, entailing ever bigger concentrations of economic power and exerting ever greater violence against the environment, do not represent progress: they are a denial of wisdom. Wisdom demands a new orientation of science and technology towards the organic, the gentle, the non-violent, the elegant and beautiful." - E.F.Schumacher
"We have but one soul. The rays of the sun are many through refraction. But they have the same source." - Mohandas K. Gandhi
"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having." - V in V For Vendetta
"Dignity is that nation without nationality, that rainbow that is also a bridge, that murmur of the heart no matter what blood lives it, that rebel irreverence that mocks borders, customs and wars.
Hope is that rejection of conformity and defeat. Life is what they owe us: the right to govern and to govern ourselves, to think and act with a freedom that is not exercised over the slavery of others, the right to give and receive what is just."
- Subcomandante Marcos
the essential stuff:
- essentially, i view myself as a connector and a healer.
- i think our dreams are incredibly important - without them, we become easy to control.
- i also think it's absurd for people to starve in a country with some of the most gluttonous cars, technology and people on the planet.
- i am fortunate in that the company i keep and the people i connect to help me to see myself and the world more clearly and beautifully as (hopefully) i do them.
- Change begins with you.
other factoids:- Johnny Appleseed and Robin Hood are two of my favorite folk heroes.
- i always pick up those six pack rings i see on the ground to cut them (perhaps compulsively).
- i co-founded and help run a thing called ShareSD in San Diego.
- when i do have kids,i want there to be musical instruments for them to play with in every room of the house.
- feel free to check out my website too.
- And/or my electronic music meetup.
