About Me |
|
Facets of me are anthropologist, archaeologist, returned Peace Corps volunteer (North Africa 2003-4), and teacher. I love Morocco, Mexico and Belize. I love the Barbary macaque, Colobus monkeys, mountains, oceans, seas, the moon, the desert, the jungle canopy, and always ... the diffused throttle of a rumbling Harley. I appreciate the sacrificing natures of the elderly. I love my students. They energize and exhaust ... by turning the mirror on me. They are like gurus, teaching me more than I might ever aspire to teach them. I am completely blown away by the repetitive bifurcation of all living things. |
