Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God - Ronald Reagan
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give thee, the more I have. For both are infinite. I am a masterpiece in progress. My life is lived energetically, learning and blossoming thanks to each experience, encounter and new challenge. It is a joy to inhabit a healthy body, a curious mind and a fiery soul. Dichotomy exists simultaneously in most aspects of my existence: mirth and contemplation, abandon and presence, impatience and diligent research, love of ideas both modern/shiny and historic/dusty. I can be easily distracted and yet passionately focused.
"Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; you save animals and humans alike, O Lord. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light." Psalms 36 5-9
