“Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs." This was Stephen Fry referencing Oscar Wilde (a quote within a quote), and maybe sums up my aspirations for life. 

When I'm at my best, I'm living the verb version of my life. That looks like being a complete goofball with my 2 kids, exploring the gamut of emotions of 40-something life with my wife, belly laughter with old friends, getting deep into nature, making something, or thinking about learning for individuals and communities. Through all that, I hope to stay grounded in my purpose, which is to live a deeply experienced life and to support others in doing the same.
