The most extraordinary aspects of my being didn't come from me. The spark(s) of epiphanies that I occasionally get are less about being a genius and more about having a genie---Making Wishes. Showing Up. Being T/Here.Fear is for folks who don't get out very much. Outdoors Is In!
"When you define me, you negate me'--so let me tell my own idiosyncratic story. My autobiography gives dignity and meaning to me and the YOUniverse.
Life's Change Agent
When I started blogging about my own experiences at sea, and the blessings and gifts of this unique life style, I started to answer the question-What is the meaning of life? I Got One! Find What You Love And Let It Kill You. And you will be born again, in a planet of 'new' inexperience(s). I'm not a renaissance man. I'm a Renaissance, man!
It’s hard to get back to back championships."The Sky's The Limit" vibe is, paradoxically, problematic, in that it causes us to believe we can (and should) perpetually be succeeding more than we actually are, even if that hope is flatly unrealistic. Still it is in the AmeriCAN cultural DNA to be restless,and want to leave.
Those Who Do Not Move, Do Not Notice Their Chains
The ethos of mobility and individualism started when I become an idiot (a Greek word originally meaning non-citizen), not buying into the shared hallucination of mediocrity. You relax and lower your standards and question everything. You are no longer separate, isolated or alone. You are just like everyone else. The clock had struck 13. What is deeply personal becomes universal---this is the real internet and network---the collective unconsciousness.

The Invention Of The Ship Was Also The Invention Of The Shipwreck.
The word “blessing” actually comes from the French blessure, which means “wound.” So, a blessing always has that other side to it, My cruising obsession (this invisible wound) is like a private religion. It’s where the bulk of my spirit is actually invested. Yet I have been divinely compensated.The wisdom of this excess is that We die to the present tense
and are born again in future perfect the heroes of our own lives.Yet there is always the nostalgia, the homesickness for the West Coast:

From July 2011, my last visit:

| His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Integration- Pulling a rabbit out of his hat again. |
In fact Mark value-added on the current design of Chess Park(see phto on left) ; and Persian Architect Isaac the "Lord of The Rings". I took a victory lap for the Shah of L.A.(see above right).
All of these guys-as shallow and pedantic we may have been ---used to pontificate about ...renaming Santa Monica Ho Chi Minh City,' and complain and kibitz about— the conservatives, the landlords, the developers, the busy people.
Life Guard and Pope Of Greenwich Village with his SP50 Zinc oxide sunscreen on his recently basel cell scrapped nose-Dave, settled on The Peoples Republic of... Yes, it had an-all-you-can-eat Smörgåsbord of Big Sur, NY Soho and Beverly Hills-by-the-sea, run by the Green Party and new age ethos Woodstock Generation ( ultra-wealthy aging hippies, environmentalists and socialists) all wrapped up in one.
There's a little more status and a lot more quo these days--and all the Old Radicals are nowhere to be seen. 3 days ago, actor Donald Sutherland hit a bicyclist. I wonder if it was Pete?
