More.

I want something more.

There is a gnawing hunger in my chest that refuses to be quiet. A longing I can’t explain but that colors every thought.

This is a feeling that ripples across my mind day in and day out. And I have a hunch there’s a lotta people who’d say they feel the same thing.

“There’s more to life than this, right..?”
Spoiler: there is.

The very fact that we can imagine it leaves space for such fulfillment.
But how do we find it?
Is it even something to be found?
Must we make it?
Must we cultivate it?
Does it come in a flash of inspiration, or a chance encounter?
Is the rush and joy we long for reserved merely for the fortunate?
Or is it only on the other side of blood, sweat, and tears?
Maybe it is all a bout of fantasy, a feeling we wouldn’t even recognize the experience of?

If we cannot even imagine what that fulfillment looks like or what we must do to achieve it, then we can’t begin to conceive of what struggles such fulfillment comes with.

But that isn’t what matters right now. What matters is that the feeling is there. There is more to life, and it is yours for the taking. This is why I am creating this space. To connect with those who yearn to take a bite out of life. To indulge in and embrace the consequences of living. To dare to be as they will in the world.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you where my fire comes from.

Physics. Philosophy. Thunderstorms and mountainscapes. Moments of revelation, those which make even the skeptics dare believe. Taking chances on adventure and any gamble made for the chance to truly live. Cooking meals with friends, indulging in one another’s company.
Being honest, brazen, and kind.

All of this, derived from a simple desire to experience all which is worth appreciating in this life. Choosing to break the molds of our own making.

Living as though you chose to.

I will be posting here my writings which pour from my at times invigorated spirit to stir up a restlessness in yours.

My goal is to agitate that small part of your mind that calls you forth into the world, that wants to—dares to—believe in its own destiny, and seeks unrestrained expression. To instill in you the same obsession that grips me; to yearn for a call to adventure so avidly that you will make your own. To cultivate obsession with life.

This experience is not something that will be found in everything by everyone, so you must search within to glimpse where you might find it. It could be in sailing the world, or the simple pleasure of inviting a friend to lunch one day.

But who am I to guide you? I am no Virgil. I am just a man enamored with life. Seeking ceaseless spectacle and awe. What you will find here is something between meditations and communion—those moments of inner connection where spirit, thought, and experience merge into something revealing. I hope to inspire and invoke wonder. I hope to engage with fellow seekers and find my people who know as I do of the profoundness of life and existence, and seek to honor it by living it. So please, if any or all of this resonates with you, reach out.

I am currently heeding my own call to adventure, one I believe is asking me to leave the comforts of modernity and embrace a life with no expectations of my future beyond embodying my greatest most self. Helping others find that fire, and ignite their spirit. To question everything and lay bare the colors of our soul.

Let’s be each other’s chance encounter.
Begin an endeavor. Enjoy a drink. Plan a trip.
Live life together.
