Compassionate, loving, youthful, simple/green living, veggie/vegan, feminist man, easy going and easy to communicate with! I adopted my four kids, and helped co-parent them... have no biological kids of my own. Being in their lives was and is the best thing I've done to date in my blessed and wonderful life.
I was a Green Beret in the Army Special Forces (1962-65). I thank God/Great Spirit/Universe that I never took a life, or caused human suffering.

My Philosophy
Peace begins in my heart!
What Gives Me Hope
My 6 year old grand-daughter, Arianna Ocean, and the worldwide movement of individuals and organizations believing in, and working for peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. I no longer hope for another TrueLove in my life (Maybe in my next life-time...LOL).

What/who changed my life and why
Some books that have inspired me are: 'A Year to Live' (Stephen Levine), 'Keeping the Love You Find' (Harville Hendrix), 'World As Lover-World As Self' (Joanna Macy), 'Ecotopia' and 'Ecotopia Emerging' (Ernest Callenbach), 'Crossing to Avalon' (Jean Shinoda Bolin),...more and more...
"Je ne connais qu'un devoir, c'est celui d'aimer. "
I know only one duty, that is to love.
~Albert Camus
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow, What a Ride!'
