A hearty hello to all!
I'm Michael, now living an adventure of inner and outer self-discovery in Ecuador with my wife. I managed to teleport/time-shift myself out of 40 years of corporate cubicles. Somehow, even though I was trained in television and movie production and really see myself as a writer/photographer, my analytical skills attracted me into the IT field, where in Los Angeles and Seattle I made a career of it for quite a while.
But in the last two years we've experienced quite a transformative process -- let's just say accumulating dissatisfaction led us to taking the red pill. After that, neither I nor my wife were able to psychically squeeze ourselves back into the programmed space we had been in. This is in thanks, in part, to the healing effects of some sacred plant medicine ceremonies led by reputable shamans in South America. We haven't looked back since and don't intend to.
I'd like to contribute to the community by adding my reflections and photography and I look forward to your comments. I am also anticipating your posts and getting to know you through what you share. So much has opened up for me in the last couple of years. I've found living outside one's native culture is so enriching. Getting a chance to discover stories from around the world with all of you will be a great extension of that for me.
I look back with gratitude on so much in my life and now it's quite fun seeing so much open up for the future.
If I could say anything to my younger self, standing at the seashore, I'd only implore him not to lose sight of heart, of dreams, of taking chances, of staying with one's passions. And now....let's see what's trending!
