I feel I have an advantaged viewpoint of this world and our human condition. I've studied the teachings of Enlightened Beings, especially Beloved Adi Da, Adyashanti, Gangaji, and Robert Adams. It is their awakened wisdom that gives me this vantage point. I'm 63 years old, have my fair share of brain cells, though as I age they're not functioning to the max. My mortality is in clear view due to a progressive incurable lung disease. I have 4 grown children all of whom are my best friends, and they've brought forth 7 beautiful grandsons. I'm blessed to have found my great love and soul mate. I love kids and dogs and cold champagne, blazing fireplaces, flowers on tables, love and laughter, being inspired, green eyes, sunny, white sandy beaches, intelligence, good books, movies that make me cry, buttered popcorn, loyal friends, politics and the Truth with a capital T. I try to spend my time in the moment and reach for the highest apples. I write screenplays. The cream of my crop is "The Plains Of Oblivion, The Death and Life Of James Dean." I hope one day to put Jimmy back on the silver screen.
