I'm unwinding from my day listening to music - Bill Callahan, Songs:Ohia, 70s Miles - some real soul replenishing music. I've been reflecting for a while about what I would write here. Should I write some catchy, pun-fueled attention grabber? A resume of all the things I've accomplished? Self deprecation? Poetry? Nah man.

Truth is, I'm just a dude who is looking for someone to grow alongside with. Parallel-livin' is what I like to call it. I know what I want to do with my life. I know how I want to feel and what it looks like. It's not much - some land, grow vegetables, rescue some animals, create cool art and stay connected to the community/help out where and when I can. I'm looking for someone who has a similar vision of the future. Simple. Attainable. Sustainable. Happy.

I don't need much: space and time to recharge, surrounded by good art/plants/animals, nature, laughter, silence. I love to write and share with others. I believe I'm here to gather, connect, and inspire others. I believe it is possible for us all to break out of the survival mode we've been conditioned to fart around in and really live in our respective truths. Whatever that may be. I'd like to help others (and myself) reach that point.

I don't let what's going on in the world bother me at all. It's going to happen whether or not I rage and complain about it or not. I know that if my heart is in the right place, and I am doing everything I can to help and inspire others, I am doing my part.

I write this post as whole, battle-tested spiritual fucking warrior. Sure, that may sound corny - but I believe it to my core. I've descended to my own personal hell many times and have managed to rebuild, rebirth, and replenish my awakening soul every single time. I am not perfect. Lord knows I've made my mistakes. I know my ignorance, fear, and selfishness have hurt others (and myself) in the past. Usually not intentionally, but most of us aren't out here trying to wound our friends, family and strangers. (We're all trying really fucking hard.)

Anyways, I'm hoping this post resonates with someONE who has been able to see themselves (ALL of themselves) in the same light I've had envelop myself over the years. I won't name specifics, because I don't want to put anyone in a box. If this resonates with you, I implore you to message me.

Physically, I'm 6'1", athletic, bearded, black. I dress like a thrift store hippie with lots of band and animal shirts. My spiritual practice is incredibly important to me, but I tend to not share it with others. I am in no way religious/affiliated with any organized religions.

I don't want love - I AM love. I'm shining my big ol' heart out to the world in the hopes it attracts a like-hearted soul, interested in co-creating magic.

Over n' out!
