About Me

Bordentown, New Jersey, United States
I have lived in four countries, four states (worked in six), many cities, towns, and villages, and have visited many more. I have friends in many countries and cultures around the world and love them all. I am a pluralist and anti-ideologue. I believe that compassion is pragmatic and the scientific method is the path to enlightenment. To that effect, I believe that curiosity, imagination, and intuition are the initiating attributes of the empiricist, because a theory must come from a hypothesis - and a good hypothesis must come from a dedicated artist.

Glass Architecture - from Songbook for the Church of the Undammed copyright 1983 by G.D. Lafontant



Glass.
Material of utopia.
You reflect,
you let pass,
you fill
with sun
light and warmth.

Clear, smooth,
solid water, unrippled;
unlike ice
not cold but
radiant.

Fragile
and sharp
when broken
you cut
and when you cut
blood
and
tears
like
glass.
