Aequanimitas

I wear a long brown duster, I carry a pack full of books and journals, with a teddy bear named Cole hooked on it. I believe in Love, Hope Purpose & Laughter Enough Stuff to take over a small Country and a Teddy Bear for Karma."Not all who wander are lost, a good traveler leaves no track, Shared Pain is Lessened Shared Joy Increased "I laughed, I cried, I fell down. It changed my life.....". I Have stolen all my great ideas from those who came before....... My tastes are as eclectic as the worlds we live in. I have been told I am an angel,bear,wolf,asshole,satan,friend brother,betrayer,teacher,controller freak,healer,lover,and many more. I have lived lifetimes in seconds centuries in minutes and seen the universe reborn in the eyes of a beautiful woman filled with tears of laughter and joy....I am Shawn Eric Allyn take what you like and leave the rest

'First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I said nothing. Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I did nothing. Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist. And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little. Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.'

Martin Niemöller
