speaking
we are all figments of our own imagination. that is why it is a good idea to cultivate that imagination. without imagination, we become trapped by knowledge and become intellectual casualties. imagination sparks within us adventure, courage, vision and compassion.
"i imagine, therefore i evolve!"
(... or at the very least, i imagine i evolve lol)
Some of my chronology:

(apparently) | arrives on planet earth |
| - 1968 | exists as introvert in many forms (and generally continues to do so) |

| 1971 |

| 1972 | becomes lacto-ovo vegetarian |
| 1973 | reads Aldous Huxley's Island and sees possibilities not visualized before |
| 1977 | starts teaching career in high school which lasts for 18 years and encompasses physics, math, special education, computer science (some students still serving long detentions) |

what I like to do with those who let me:
- tutor math, physics, computer science
- assist in changing diets, habits and lifestyles
- develop into existence worthwhile visions we all have
the rest is left to the imagination ...
