“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."

Letters to a Young Poet,
Rainer Maria Rilke

The Air Force took our family to many places: I was born near Tokyo, Japan, have lived in Germany, California, Alabama, and Georgia. I've visited much of Europe as well as Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Hawai'i, and Israel.

Painting, art in general, dance, travel, human rights, discipleship and counseling, music, and on and on...

Fluent English, conversant Spanish, bits and phrases of all sorts of other languages:)
