Adorer of the delicacy & beauty of birds- & breeder of cockatiels & parakeets, one of whom is perched upon my head this very moment.

A typical Mediterranean -------ist, who loves the aesthetic, the beautiful, the caringly-created & expressed; who seeks fellowship with like-minded souls who cherish sensitivity, gentility, intelligence, spontaneity, respectful relationships & deep stretches of silent awareness in which the 'Monkey Mnd' is suspended and 'wordless communion' can take place; who treasures those rare females who have somehow escaped imprisonment in the epidemic Narcissism of online culture, as well as the real & lurking liabilities of 'feminism' & all that the deep negativity & divisiveness that it has currently come to embody.

One who comes at - and to - people as true fellows - & not opposing genders or agendas, & who has not forgotten or allowed himself to forget the True Humanity lying beneath the surface of every Living Being, whether of XX or XY chromosomal pedigree.

Whose 'religion', if any, is not made merely of BS (short for Belief Systems), but of communion with Life As It is, Here & Now, Now & Forever - without names or labels, dogmas or directives, threats or punishments.

But a 'religion' - so to say - of Love and not Fear. . .of Freedom & not Restriction. . .of Everyman & Woman - accepting all & rejecting none.

In other words, a religion which has yet to be truly born on planet Earth.

Said the Man from Nazareth: 'I have come that you might have Life - and have it more abundantly.'

And so then, this is the Light that guides my life-journey in this world.

May it be so for you as well.
