I am a freedom-loving soul who cultivates kindness, honors basic rights and regards sentient beings as sacred. A worshipper of Mother Nature, I find God in the wonders of the Universe. Life without nurturing human encounters would be unthinkable to me. Bright writers, philosophers and trail-blazers from all walks of life are invaluable sources of inspiration as I seek to understand the world. Music, art and literature never cease to illuminate my path. Learning, by the way, is a lifelong endeavor.
