One-Line Bio

I always felt I saw the world differently than my peers. Now I know why. Perhaps they were right when they implied that I am an eclectic enigma. I apologize if I am not easy or if I am not an easy read.

Biography

I am dedicated to being a servant messenger to the many who believe or fear that the soul is immortal and that they are eternal souls but have been frustrated in their attempts to rationally deal with that notion and still enjoy life's pleasures with healthy feelings of happiness and a healthy sense of eternal being. I am a responsive member of the community of kindred spirits who believe that Creation endows evey man, woman, and child with the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of a healthy moral happiness and that other human beings have no right to deny or otherwise subject these rights to constant attack.

Interests

Vacations at America's National Parks, Hiking up to waterfalls, Science fiction, Singing in church choir with ocassional solo performances, Foreign movies, especially Asian, Classical Music, Dancing, Giving parties, Going to parties, Cruises, Reading and writing poetry
