: About Me

A lot of people today describe themselves in terms of the music they listen to, so here is a list of the music I like:

The sound of an unihibitedly joyful, giggling child. The soft sounds of a briskly flowing stream that peep through the openings in the concealing winter's ice. The symphonic sounds of the wind as it gales through the deepest part of the forest during a stormy night. The wonderous stillness of a high desert summer sunrise. The pounding of your heart as I rest my head on your chest in afterglow. These are the grandest of musicks. These are the symphonies of God.

My interests include the colonization of space, ancient societies and religions, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, language/communication, writing, math, (particularly fractals), gardening/botany, water (swimming, skin & scuba diving, fountains & other water features, waterfalls, etc. . .), bicycling, pottery/ceramics, parenting, human optimization, expanding awareness of all 7 senses, learning/personal growth, spiritual experiences, photography, massage, tantra, cannabis, zen, feng shui, quantum physics, engineering, and human behavior.

I am a dichotomy; both a mentor and mentee, a student and a teacher, wise and foolish. I have distinctive values and beliefs some of which are constant and unchangable while others are constantly changing. I am always right except when I am wrong.

I love plants, water and mind bending intimacy. I am in the process of forming a new society based on freedom and personal responsibility. I plan to build a city in space and emigrate there for a couple of decades or longer. I am either a genius or a madman, or perhaps both, only time will reveal the answer.

I hope you find the things I write helpful and useful. Thank you.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Problems Parents Face Single parents: How education can improve your circumstances

10 of 22

In the simplest terms education is the passing of ideas from an experienced person to someone with less knowledge of and less experience in the topic being taught. While we may think of education in terms of going to school, sitting in classes, and otherwise being formally instructed, whether one is actually in a formal "school" type of group instructional setting, or being taught one on one by a mentor, learning by reading a book, listening to a lecture, watching a video, or participating in an interactive multi-media presentation, the essence of education is one person providing to those...
