Profile Information:

About Me/Us:: I like photography, poetry, history, learning, all kinds of creativity. I always try to be a friend to those who feel unwanted. There are many of them in our society. I am inspired by those who bring hope into the world. I can often be found wandering the streets of Philly or New York, but I'm not lost. I'm searching. Searching for a photo to take, inspiration for a poem, or maybe for a history article to write, or maybe just to find a stranger who I can bring a smile to. I love to explore many cultures. Maybe that's because I come from a very international family. Or maybe I'm just curious. I hope that, in the end, my life will have made some good impact on the world, and that I might be able to make someone elses life a little better durring my time here on this twirling ball we call earth as it hurdles through the cosmos.
Relationship Status:: Single
Movies: Baraka, Rick Burn's New York, Thunderheart, It's a Wonderful Life, Shawshank Redemption, Hotel Rwanda, Road to Perdition...I know it's a mobster movie but it depicts the tragedy of violence instead of glorifying it, Forrest Gump, Born into Brothels, The Visiter
Television: I don't watch much TV, but when I do, I like to watch documenteries.
Music: I love old jazz, especially the stuff from the 1920's to the 1960's. I love to chill in the jazz clubs in Harlem. I love all that hippie stuff from the 60's too, especially Hendrix. I dig Willie Nelson, classical, blues, and abunch of other stuff too.
Books: I love to read. Some of the best I've come across are Les Miserables, Ragtime, My Life in the Irish Brigade, Bound for Canaan, Black Elk Speaks, A Brief History of Time, the Epoch of Gilgamesh, the Ramayana, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Rumi, Walt Whitman, The Alchemist, Edward W. Said, Frederick Douglass, Gandhi, Jacob Riis, Allen Ginsberg, Loren Eiseley, Jimmy Carter, Kahlil Gibran, Benjamin Franklin, Greg Mortenson
Heroes: Anwar Sadat, Benjamin Rush, Francis of Assisi, Gandhi, Chandra Gupta, Lucretia Mott, Hariett Tubman, Chief Joseph, Mother Teresa, Dr. King, Albert Einstein, Emma Goldman, Michikiniqua, Blue Jacket, Tsali, Adena Levine, Ashoka, Wilma Mankiller, Jimmy Carter, Greg Mortenson

thank you David! that's the only kind of aumunition I will ever accept! ;)

I was actually going to mention that, but I didn't cuz I wasn't sure if I had my facts straight or not, that is exactly right!!

The gun situation in this country is OUT of CONTROL! I just heard on the news this evening that a man shot another man in a Philadelphia movie theatre b/c him and his family were "talking too much"....that is so scary!!

we're going to have to have metal detector machines in ALL public places, as long as these gun laws stay put...

did you ever see "bowling for columbine"? Michael Moore sheds light on the madness of of gun control. One bank was giving out guns to every new customer!! GUNS at a BANK?!

he goes across the border from Detroit to Canada, he asked them when the last murder was in their area, and they said "about 10 years ago, and the guy came over from Detroit"

LOL (no so funny though)

Please to meet and connect.
Many blessings to the New Year.

I enjoyed watching the pictures.thank you for sharing them.
I am so lucky to meet you all peaceful "friends".

May unity be in the hearts of all people.

We just watched today arto our local channel the-Tibetan book of death-
with my son..and now he wants to read it!!He is ten years old...Bless.

anyway it atleast took much of the death fear of him or loosing the mother..that we have been talking about..life a lot lately!!and the extreme violence that is happening all over the planet when old structures falls apart..
all that what is not gonna survive the higher vibration or where the humanity is stepping...so peace andwe hope all are staying strond amongst this period of the shift in their hearts..

true demand of lightambassadors this time around..May you be the beacon of light and peace to all that connects to you.

Im sorry I dont talk so much, I had a great loss. It will be two years at the end of March. My son and his girlfriend were murdered. It has left a great hole in my heart and my life. My friend invited me to this site and I am a very social person, I just have a hard time now seeing anything good in life. I love the outdoors and I have two wonderful daughters, but its like the color and intrest has gone out of my life. I will keep trying though for my girls. You are a very wonderful person. I can tell by your photos. My youngest daughter is in college at AI in Pittsburg and she also shows herself through her photos.

thank you for responding.
1Cor.13, yes, well, I do have a grasp of the words, but as for "knowing" it "by heart" I have a long way to go yet.
May our Father make it true in our lives and bring Peace, Skip.

Wow! The information that you shared from the book is AMAZING; let's see there was germ warfare, bioengineering, and horticultural cross pollination. I am reading/rereading "The Cosmic Serpent", and what I have discovered is that there really is nothing new under the sun. Also, I feel that we hurt ourselves, or rather the evolution of the human strain when we are dismissive of our collective history. Oh yeah, and speaking of the corn, I saw a preview of a documentary to be aired on PBS that spoke to how the natives, "invented corn (or maze)" In my opinion, that's "cool beans" ;)
