Profile Information

Hometown:
Portland on the left coast
Relationship Status:

About Me:
I'm still hung up on the relationship status question. Relationship to what? That's why it's complicated. Romantic? I recently married a lifelong bachelor who is unlike anyone I have ever met or will meet. Family? In love with two incredible children. The Universe? Ah ... intense. Dialectical. Evolving.

Favorite TV Shows:
uh...TV? Maybe Bill Moyers

It is the world of scarcity and rules, bounded by the lines we are not allowed to color outside. It is not a creative place.

As I grow and develop, I increasingly move away from the world of measurement--when I remember to. When I am aware that it is encroaching, I’ll fight back by rooting myself securel… Continue

Good Morning, Fran! Thank You for adding me as a friend! It is an honor and my pleasure!
LOL, love what you've written about Relationships too!
Hahaha, it's so subjective and relative, can't be explained so easily =)

Hi, Fran. Thanks so much for your offer of friendship. I'm honored. I could only include a fraction of my favorite books. I'll be eager to examine your list.

Portland is a great and eminently civilized town.

Wishing you all the best,
Burt
