MY OPEN SPACE

I FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD -  ADRIANO, ROMAN EMPEROR & HUMANIST

Reading and writing are my spaces of experimentation where I order my thoughts about many of life's subjects.

I've created the present spot to share the following essays and my personal library for no purpose other than leaving a door open on my perpetual research for authenticity and meaning.

​

To remember: what works for others won't always work for you. And what works for you today won't always work tomorrow.
