I am middle aged. Married. More than a couple children. Raising my family in a land far from home, in a culture quite different from the one we came from.
I am left-handed for writing and somewhat ambidextrous in other ways.
I might be described as a fairly intense introvert with excellent social skills.
I am physically active in endurance sports and mentally energetic. I am interested in just about any topic- if not, I will find or invent something interesting about it.
I have a dry and abstract sense of humor- used mostly for my own entertainment. My wife wishes I would laugh more.
I absolutely love reading, writing, journaling. I am naked without a pencil and paper on hand at all times.
I have a wide variety of experience and a decent mixture of conventional and real-life education. I’ve had a few fairly different careers already.
I am comfortable doing domestic chores as I am building the house to do them in.
I love bringing order to chaos… in ideas, in businesses, in broken houses, in yards, in families.
My father used to scold me with, “If you’d only work as hard as you think, you’d get something done!” That may be true. But I’ve learned since then that getting things done isn’t the only important objective in life. And it is sure a lot more fun to think up ways to make the work easier.
I am an Explorer of this life – this world, these people, this body, this mind, and this spirit.
I am not afraid to die. I’m looking forward to explore the other side next.
While I am still here on this side I do want to experience more love from God and learn to give more to those around me.

I, too, am not afraid to die. I am really afraid of suffering and that happens almost as much.
That could be one of the indicators of which kind of demonstrator we are… but not enough by itself.
There could be some difference in motive behind those who eagerly seek out the suffering of resistance versus those who must endure it or they cannnot live with themselves.
But I doubt anybody is a simple, singularly-motivated person. We have a mix of all kinds. I see it rather as an issue of which motivations dominate me (soul and biology) and which I surrender to, keeping aware of what is driving me and taking responsibility for it.
Hi there, I meant plain old physical suffering. The kind that aches, burns, throbs. Some people die in their sleep without any of that. That must be sweet!
🙂 Oh, that kind too. Thanks for clarifying.
We are all wired to be annoyed by the pain messengers, otherwise we wouldn’t pay attention when somethings wrong.
