I like not having a conversation that doesn't need to be had. Simplicity is useful when the mind doesn't feel it necessary to empty itself constantly. I like the occasional pause, the itinerant journey, the time slowed and can appreciate what you have to share.
Find me an adventurer, collector, designer, writer, outdoors-man, artist... I enjoy conversation, food, cooking, friends, ideas, inventive objects-minds, interior designs, decorating, landscapes, photography, architecture, history, travel, antiques, timeless craftsmanship and you, maybe. Why NOT?!?
I am a Mississippian and have a knack for living. I've been to the world and have come back to myself.
Enjoy your visit: say hi and share anytime :)

One year after a devastating earthquake killed an estimated 222,000 people and left 1.5 million people homeless on January 12, 2010, Haitians continued to endure appalling living conditions amid a nationwide cholera outbreak, despite the largest humanitarian aid deployment in the world.
Now two years later, MSF is increasing hospital capacity in earthquake-affected areas as 500,000 people are still officially displaced and access to health care is nearly non-existent.

“On the boat the first thing we did—before deciding who we liked and didn’t like, before telling each other which one of the islands we were from, and why we were leaving, before even bothering to learn each other’s names—was compare photographs of our husbands.”
—The Buddha in the Attic, by Julie Otsuka
Rafflesia Arnoldii
Rafflesia arnoldii is the world’s largest flower having a diameter of about one meter and weighing up to ten kilograms. It is a rare flower and not easily located. It grows only once a year and blooms for around five days. According to researches in discovery news, this flower that looks and smells like rotting flesh is related to flimsy flowers like violets, poinsettias and passionflowers. Hence it also called as “meat flower” or “corpse flower”. The flower is pollinated by flies and carrion beetles attracted by its vile smell. It contains about 27 species and found in Indonesian rain forests of southeastern Asia and Philippines. Rafflesia is an official state flower of Indonesia, Surat Thani Province in Thailand and Sabah state in Malaysia.
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
–Mark Twain
