A Bit About Myself
I was born in the 70’s, in the town of Luzern, Switzerland. Moved to Canada (‘bout 1/2 way across the whole thing) when I was but a decade old. As a friend once described me:
You are a soft soul, deep, introspective, and yet able to laugh at a moment’s notice. You are moody, and many times we (your friends) worry about you and wish you well. Yet, we endeavour to be around you, knowing that great things will come.
I think he was being way too generous. I’m a nut. 1/2 Swiss, 1/2 Canadian, and another half I have not figured out yet. Much of my thought process is about myself (hey, yes, I’m selfish!), and yet I count myself lucky to have friends. Friends that would drop everything at a moments notice and travel 1/2 way around the world to give me a hand moving.
Over the years, there I’ve found verious quotes and sayings to resound in my own life philosophy. The first of these would be reflecting my own displeasure with conflict and violence. Unfortunately, it has not been verified that Albert Einstein ever said words to this effect. Still, these words reflect some of the existential fear that lives within myself:
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones…
The following quote is something that I’ve attempted to live up to over the years. Unfortunately, with age comes wisom, and a general “slowing down” of the body’s ability to heal and cope. Still, I still live with wonder and a general “let’s see what happens” attitude:
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: Wow! What a ride!!
