Reading poetry is where I've been spending a lot of my time - good poems, not the esoteric, what-did-that-mean type of stuff. With that in mind, here's a blessing for all who visit my profile:

Oh Kharma, Dharma, pudding and pie,
Gimmie a break before I die:
Grant me wisdom,will,& wit,
Purity,probity,pluck,& grit,
Trustworthy,loyal,helpful,kind.
Gimmie great abs,& a steel trap mind,

And forgive,Ye Gods,some humble advice--
These little blessings would suffice
to beget an earthly paradise:
Make the bad people good--
And the good people nice:
And before the world goes over the brink,
Teach the believers how to think.

--Philip Appleman

What kinds of things do you want to connect with?
My work is about developing great projects to help youth filmmakers connect with their audiences. I also want to connect filmmakers and their mentors to really great resources, information and people that can help them improve production quality and tell better stories.

If you could hang out with any five people, dead or alive, who would they be?
It would be kinnda cool to have a dinner party with Garrison Keillor for his humor, Dalai Lama for his inner strength, Joni Mitchell for creative spirit, Che Guervara for his sense of purpose, and my wife Wendy for love...besides, otherwise she wouldn't believe who's come over for dinner.
