Introduction I am what you would call a classic 'seeker'. Spiritual matters have always been of utmost importance to me. I'm learning to apply this spiritual drive (and it's fruits) to the practicalities of life in hopes of living a life of purpose and meaning. I can take things WAY too seriously sometimes and part of my journey on the path is learning to lighten up and have good time.
