Quiet in my passing though wild in my mind,
stumble upon me creating & soon you are to find,
a being of insight,
one with the sight,
such which has come to pass,
as well as that which will surely ensue en masse,
honest to a fault,
little if anything needs to be in a vault,
curious without limit,
as there are lessons with every passing minute,
precious every experience is seen,
as a witness to all...even the in-between,

nothing is mistaken for,
nor reason to be forsaken at one's core,
purely understood more,
because never is anything really a bore,
we've seemingly made it a chore,
this expanse which we claim to adore,

for others; absent are such perceptions,
remaining inside the box not asking questions,
whereas to query for understanding,
effortlessly making a smooth & patient landing,
one could say I am still standing,
perhaps even demanding,
life true to thought,
a quest further sought,
never lost from self,
always prepared for the shelf,
wisdom long since written,
pleasing as a kitten,
friend to all as if intrinsically smitten,
beauty in every facet of this moment,
upon the breeze it rides free from need of atonement,
here if anywhere,
down, up or over there,
who's to say beyond what I care?,
on further through,
I can say I do,
lacking any remorse,
each action taken follows a course,
say not a cause of motion,
all a fractal of the notion,
that of,
sat did the dove,
simply peering,
arguably mirroring,
a fraction,
proposed dissatisfaction,
another's perspective,
through ubiquitous collective,
a crew of bias,
presents one to be pious,
avoidance to muster,
that I've such a luster,
yet so do they say,
that I'm more than okay,
having obvious preponderance,
not merely a conscience,
forget to crumble,
surpass the mumble,
state the facts; I've been referred to as humble.

I'd say I'm cool-headed, reflective and idealistic. Interested in serving humanity, rather than owning it. Have a well-developed value system, which I strive to live in accordance with. Extremely loyal, adaptable and laid-back unless a strongly-held value of mine is threatened. Mentally quick and able to see possibilities. Interested in understanding and helping people, by simply taking some of the weight off their shoulders, if not all of it for a while. I have no secrets of my own, I am an open book as long as the page is flipped by way of a question pertaining to it. I enjoy venturing out and capturing whatever natural beauty I can, it's sad how much is just truly unnoticed. As well as driving to unknown destinations simply enjoying the company of others while listening to a wide variety of music. All while invoking deep thought and debates on topics ranging from philosophy to epistemology to the government to human potential and everything beyond. I've recently been fascinated by people and how desperate some are to simply force changes in their lives rather than wait for the opportunity to first open the door, if not light the path.. Life experiences shaping them every step of the way, parent's lessons, siblings, school, random people met at every turn..intriguing to say the least. The shaping of a person's personality by way of mile-stones upon the path we lead..

I am not, nor do I condone the male stereotype; players, one-night-stands, flings, and all of that mentality. It makes no sense to me. The very idea of lust doesn't cross my mind throughout a day, it's pointless. Whereas love can bring time to a standstill, it can turn a single night into a seemingly timeless moment. Who would honestly take lust over time alteration with emotion alone... I mean common! ^-^ but seriously, what kind of trade-off is that? To each their own I suppose..

I feel most at home in my car driving with no destination, just the open road and my mind at ease. (Passengers or not I can find peace in this place alone.) Freedom Defined.

Freedom to travel as I choose, the opportunity to experience every part of the world I wish. The cultures, cuisine, music, art, beliefs & perspectives. To have a way to relate that which is learned to the rest of the world alien to that specific culture etc.. To bring people together beyond what has been possible thus far, preferably through creative/artistic/musical means.

I've been finding that my passions include anything that proves the potential or beauty of an object or scene. Whether it be capturing it through photography, cooking, writing, art of any kind when it strikes me relevant to the emotion or concept, be it digital or otherwise. Others have inspired me, now I only hope to inspire others; pay it forward in a sense.

I simply love to create, express, share, grow.. inspire.
To understand, to collect wisdom from every source imaginable as the experiences of life ceaselessly unfold before me.

Beyond escaping into other's worlds or perspectives I adore more than anything creating my own for the senses to cherish such as producing my own music, as you can find here https://soundcloud.com/xetxuna/albums
Though I made the above aforementioned album years ago. Producing music digitally just doesn't have the authentic feel I'd like to become familiar. Hence the newest direction of intrigue; I've been teaching myself how to play my Kosmosky DvuTone 11 tongue Drum tuned in G-Major 432Hz. a sample of that (https://clyp.it/54kxp45w)

Also, I just got a Guqin (7-string Chinese Zither), and lastly I recently acquired a Sheng as well, both of which I haven't the slightest idea how to play but am confident in these challenges I've presented myself with. Feel free to ask for links to recordings to each of those..I'd be happy to share as I'm constantly recording songs, just waiting to get my next instrument... and wondering how long it will be before I have a room full of instruments I can play..)

UPDATE: I recently got a 130yr old Malcolm Love Cabinet Grand Piano, and such a wonderful addition to my list of instruments I'm learning! ^~^

There are so many more I'd love to add to this list.. but honestly, I find value in just about anything.. I'm an artist at heart, through and through.. I strive to find the beauty in everything, because all maintains some level of beauty when accepted without comparison. I can only ever aim to share the perspective I hold true as my own.

(I stopped watching tv in 2005, but I'll watch a show commercial/ad-free if I find it intriguing enough..)

Food:

I love to cook/bake/concoct/extract flavors, food, condiments, drinks, you name it! Just since last year I've over 60 recipes of my own from everything from marinades, hot sauces, banana breads to from scratch chocolate/fudge. Even have came up with a one of a kind pumpkin pie as well as a one of a kind apple pie which cannot be matched as they each are nothing like the standards found everywhere. Let me know if you'd be interested in a recipe I'd be happy to trade a recipe for a recipe. ^~^

As far as what I eat; I'll summarize: I am conscious of what I consume, and haven't drank soda/milk since 2011. I do my best to stay away from high-fructose corn syrup, (which is in everything...) all in all I am aware of the ingredients in "food" and will make a choice based on more the legitimate option if available.. I don't pressure anyone to eat anything different, it's their life not mine. I eat food for nutrition and when prepare it flavor also. The better the ingredients, the better the meal. I love to cook/bake/create recipes of anything! On that note, I do not have nor have I ever had a smart phone.. Gasp!! I know, this must be an impossible feat; believe me when I say it's becoming more tricky by the day to be without one. One of the best decisions I ever made; albeit a well timed decision at that.

I avoid alcohol for a number of reasons; one mainly being; that unlike every other consumable item on the market, alcoholic beverages are not required by law to have their ingredients labeled.. hence I don't care to consume such products. I've had alcohol which was actually imported which had an ingredients label and was quality derived & I can tell you that the drunkenness which ensued was comparatively different, not to mention felt clean as to conventional products found anywhere.. beyond that reasoning.. I find that it being so widely used is a hint at the notion that I don't want to be using it. Anything normalized to an extreme such as it has been is something to be avoided. Such can be seen time and time again.. it's how prohibition on anything works.. If you want people using something, first limit their ability to get said thing, little by little and then completely. Then after some time re-legalize it with different limitations for purchase/possession.

I prefer small groups, or 1 on 1

Go to concerts, Play cards, Pen pal or email pal, Just talk. gossip. catch up, Hang out, Network, Meet for lunch, Travel, Go to restaurants, Room mate

Don't have many friends in the area so;... home. heh

Everywhere I haven't. Simple as that.

Elixir of the Ageless : You Are What You Drink
Flanagan, Dr G. Patrick

I have very little dislike of any music, the variety I keep on hand is diverse to say the least. Proof of one's effort redefined in a form which can be shared with others, that's what makes art of any medium beautiful at it's very essence. Art has a deeper impact on the people within this world than the worthless materials we keep pumping out onto store shelves. We've defined ourselves a species of materialistic destruction, rather than beings of inspiring creation.. ~_~ I hope to one day shift that balance. We could be so much better off if people were never taught the concept of mine vs yours. Honestly..
