Happily married since 1985, open to new friendships with fellow eccentrics. Proud to be an Ivory Trailer Intellectual and a poor fit in any stereotype.~~~~~~www.dreamdeer.grailmedia.com~~~~~~

~~~~~What would you create, if you could start a culture from scratch? What would you build, if you could design a home or a village the way it ought to go? What would you do if you stepped out of the network of corporate dependence, just as far as you wanted to step? How would you order things if you made the rules? How would you work, if you could be your own boss? How would you entertain yourself and others if you had the confidence to go beyond the spectator role? How would you live, if you let no one else influence your choiices except for those you truly love and respect? Who would you stand up for, if you decided that "being realistic" wasn't all that real? What would you connect to, if you sought what really is real, regardless of the habits and abstractions of society?

~~~~~Let me know.

(In no particular order:) Dreams, Yaqui culture, Faerie, most arts (especially writing) most science (especiallly the human sciences and weird physics) earth mysticism (especially Catholic) repairing or making things by hand whether I know what I'm doing or not, permaculture/ecology, intentional community, Heifer International, Amnesty International, etc.

(Most of these are off the air)Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Lost, Heroes, Jericho, Medium (missed some episodes) Survivor, Babylon 5, and Deep Space Nine. Put ordinary people into weird situations and see how they cope, and you'll capture my interest.

The Lord of the Rings films, Lawrence of Arabia, The Wind, I Robot, The Village, Serenity, tons of other good films that I'm forgetting right now, intelligent action films, fantasy films that aren't precious and winking at the kiddies.

Stuff by JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling, Fritz Leiber, Poul Anderson, Ursela K. LeGuin, Frank Herbert, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Alexandre Dumas, Stephen Donaldson (missing some) Roger Zelazny, Robert Browning, Lord Byron, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Yeats, Keats, Anne Rice, John Steinbeck (missing some) etc. Plus more nonfiction than I can categorize.
