A life both connected & apart. Life as one’s role in exploration and evolution. Major activities: Helped create a gay movement in both the USA & Canada. Exploring Planet Earth (60+ countries) as naturalist, student of archeology & ancient history, student of anthropology and sociology. Personal life – bookseller, photographer, student of classical music, gardener, bird, bee, butterfly, and cat enthusiast. Citizen of Canada & the USA, resident of the Philippines and Morocco.

Philosophical & intellectual influences and perspective. Started to fall away religious indoctrination (Christianity) at age 14, the same age that I read Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. At Cornell I discovered ancient writers (Gilgamesh, Greek & Roman writers), followed by William Blake, Sigmund Freud, Andre Gide, Norman O. Brown, Herbert Marcuse. As with classical music, once smitten by a single work I needed to hear/read more. Usually followed by an attempt to explore most, if not all of a composer or author’s work in order to understand the evolution of their ideas. Major influences were Gide, Blake, Brown & Marcuse. My atheism has grown to the point where I see the three Ibrahimic as responsible for far more evil than good. Overall I think Classical Greece was the pinnacle of civilization. My views on sexuality are somewhat different and perhaps worthy of the word “radical”.
