I’m a seeker.  I believe in leading a deliberate life and that means being open to all that the world offers.  I’ve developed an interest in rocks so I have decided to set out and learn all I can about them. I believe that when we follow our passion, we are alive and to be alive is to lead a spiritual existence.  Not in a religious, dogmatic sort of way, but by simply being aware and conscious.  I believe that anything that helps us look beneath the surface of things helps us grow and become part of something greater than ourselves.  I find it in many things, not just rocks.  Music is a transcendent experience.  So is art.  And love.  Life is sublime.  All of it.
