I, with Karen Murphy, channel Polaris, a being of light, wisdom, groundedness, and practicality.   I am all about groundedness and effectiveness: I bring positive skepticism to everything I do, desiring what will help but eschewing the whitewashed positivity that ends up in denial of emotions we don't want to own.

Basically, I'm someone with some depth who is paradoxically simple. Sort of like the Tao Te Ching if you added some interpretive dancing & clowning of it. I can have fun with almost everything & everyone, but I value spending time with fairly conscious people who know how to relax, have fun, and be perceptive and balanced at the same time.

I'm totally with the Dalai Lama when he says “my religion is love”. I totally strive to practising loving-kindness towards everyone, including George Bush. Really, he needs it. Yes, I even hug Republicans! But then, I don't perceive 'evil' as such anyway. I see the universe as being a tremendously loving place - and no, I'm far from naive. But we do have our lessons and need to experience 'shit' sometimes in order to learn. If you also see the universe as perfect and loving, just as it is, chances are we could share some good times. That does NOT mean doing nothing and being apathetic about positive change either! But to me, spirituality is intrinsically linked with the journey to agape.

Foreign places have definitely shaped me. One of my trips was a 6 month sojourn in India, from river rafting to monasteries (staying inside) and backpacking through the Himalayas. That's why I always take anything imposed as a “cultural fact” with a grain of salt.
