Before
In the beginning all was dark; and then there was light.Innocence was lost as I gained knowledge from many
generations of family and friends.
I was born in Colombia, the land of eternal optimism. Aplace full of passion that sometimes is transmuted into
anger. A confused and wonderful place full ofcontradictions; the cradle to some of the best artists inthe world.

Innocence
It is innocence that is full
and experience that is empty.It is innocence that wins
and experience that loses.

Now
Now there is hope; a light at the end of the tunnel. The realisation that we neednot choose between ying & yang; war & peace; male & female. Instead, we cansee all within us, and accept the wisdom of our inner and our higher selves.
I live in Australia, the youngest & oldest land of all. A land ofdiversity and new beginnings. As a family man, I pass my kindness around;
create beautiful things; and continue this never-ending pilgrimage.

Forever
Love is Forever. Friendship lasts Forever, Nature has always been, will always beForever. Respect other's paths. Admire your own. Such is the wisdom of Forever.
In every person we meet there is a teacher. Be grateful for this eternal giftof knowledge; of self-awareness; of connectedness. Be mindful of what is,
and accept what is not. For it is in this wisdom that you will find peaceforever.
