Half of my life I've had a decent job, good benefits, and my health. Since 2004 I've lost the job, the benefits, house, car, possessions, and wealth (aka credit in many people's definition). I'm blessed with my health, more friends and acquaintances than I'll ever truly come to realize, and find myself in the midst of creating the change I wish to see in the world. It doesn't come from me - it comes through listening, sharing, and working together. It comes from losing a requirement for ME and embracing the requirement that WE are all taken care of and OK.

Photography

I would enjoy returning to photography… what's missing are the funds to purchase a camera and gear. It's been 10 years stuck with a phone as my camera.

Politics

I'm closest to a Green Party platform as a progressive that supports hybridization of capitalism with socialism. I've ran several times for office. I'm open for discussion. At present I volunteer time into Marianne Williamson's Presidential campaign. My stance is #NeverBiden and #NeverTrump.
