A little about me...
Life has no simple explanation and is what it's creator commands- hopefully that is love and art. Our unique biophysical and mental design allows infinite possibilities to emerge withing this diverse cause/ effect universe. We can be anything we believe in but we have to accept the ruling elements of life. We can be created & destroyed and this moment shall pass, so go on collecting experience and information for our own purpose and health with hopes to grow stronger and survive as long as we can. We cannot afford to wait for 'life after death, if you seek heaven, it must be made here and now. Please don't kill the rainforest either.
