what's this?

I'm pretty simple, honest, easy going, great sense of humor (at least I can laugh at myself or by myself), love life and seek to experience it fully.

Interests: Islam, the soul, neuro linguistic programming, Nature, universe, books, current events, history, culture, science, Rock climbing, bouldering, backpacking, snowboarding, mountaineering, skiing, trail running, travel by stars, sail the seas, reach the highest peaks, and home again.

Books: The Alchemist, The Fountainhead, Ishmael, Gates of Fire, Desert Solitaire, Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates, On the Road

I've traveled over 10000 miles throughout the U.S. I have spent several years living abroad in the Far East, the Near East, and even Down Under. And I know there remains much more to be seen and experienced.

I have seen the word "travel" often on this website. But I think it's humorous how few of people actually have traveled to understand the rewards are greater once we step out of our comfort zones and into the unknown.

Pausing to reflect upon my travels and all the roads that are ahead I am aware of one thing: the great desire to share the experiences that are ahead.

If I could borrow a moment reserved in life for inspiration to bear myself with the sincerity discerned from my failures, victories, hopes, and vindication. My mind may conceal the truth of the accounted experiences with vain expectations but my heart would cry freedom.

What does that mean!?! Your standard, run of the mill, basic paradox in which I seek inspiration but try not to limit myself and yet I remain hopeful....at least I think that's what it meant when I wrote it......what does it mean to you?
