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.

Between You and Me - from Songbook for the Church of the Undammed -copyright 1997 by G.D. Lafontnat



We draw our lines upon the sand
and stake off fences in the land.
We let our paranoia get the upper hand.
When will we ever understand?...

That there's a thin skin between inside and out,
a fine line dividing clarity from doubt,
a narrow ledge from the center to the edge,
and a breath's breadth from a whisper to a shout.

There are no boundaries - no borders ...
only ocean and wave ...
No chaos or order ...
Only love remains.

We lock the door and barricade the gate.
We let our minds back up with anger, fear and hate.
Too often we allow our wars to seal our fate.
C'mon! Wake up! It's getting late!

Cause it's a quick trip from a rise to a fall
and between you and me lies a hand-made paper wall.
An endless thread ties the living to the dead
and one truth encompasses it all ...

There are no boundaries - no borders ...
only ocean and wave ...
No chaos or order ...
Only love remains.
