About Me
- Lee Driver
- I’m probably old enough to be your father, have two fine grown-up sons, two grandchildren and a daughter with a different mom that I barely know but am very proud of. She's working in Bolivia trying to facilitate young girls a leg up. I was in Viet Nam. I’m not a republican but my father was, I’m not a fan of coal-fired plants or nuclear (noo clee er you idiot), think we ought to have a gentler hand on the planet. I mainly make a living designing and building one-of-a-kind furniture in my shop up in the woods in the mountains of northern New Mexico on commission (I'll get some pictures up when I figure that out), for 30 years. I still get better. Retirement is not likely. I like travel, most of that has been in Latin America, lots to Peru, lots to Mexico. I am a fan, imbiber and advocate of banisteriopsis caapi when it's cooked up with psychotria viridis. I like to write, read, sit in lotus, I’m not a Buddhist but that’s probably the closest. I stay fit. I don’t have a lot of confidence in our “leaders” and the state of world looks pretty dicey, but in my little corner, up here in the trees, life is good. You?
About me, a reader...
ReplyDeleteHa. Nope, not even close.
I have two young 'uns who touch my heart daily. Sometimes I look at them and wonder how I could've grown up as a one and only. Animals that enter this house have unnaturally long life spans. Plants not so much unless you are a monocot from the family Orchidaceae. Creo en ángeles y los espiritus de mi familia me visitan. I am decidedly left of center and when I pull my head out of the sand, I am repeatedly shocked by the peacocks strutting on the national stage. Save the children or save the planet? Both, but my work has focused on the kids. Two things stand out from all of those years ago in elementary school... A teacher took a book away from me because I started reading it without 'permission' and another one failed me in 5th grade math (yes, that would be Mr. Burelli) after he lost all of my homework. I am a 'venge teacher. Moving my body is part of what I do daily. I am peaceful when I am hanging out in ustrasana or lying in a hammock watching the clouds float past as the sun sets. Can one both observe and participate fully? Someday I will hit standing splits in dandayamana-dhanurasana. A la Eleanor R., I don't step back from something because it scares me.
Do ya really wanna go down the path o who's to old to do what?
