I'm a Master's candidate in Nonprofit Management at the New School for Public Engagement in Manhattan; I have a B.A. in literature from Bard College, and I work at Buddhist meditation center in a tiny town in the Hudson Valley region of New York, which is where I live. I have a lot of big weird dreams and not a lot of time but I still manage to do nothing a lot, and I am okay with that. I've never read another Wikipedia user page so I have no idea if I've written too much. I am bad at writing these things but I like to write a lot: writings.epiphantom.com // www.ecceparallax.com // twitter.com/illuminacular. HELLO
