This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

India, Rajasthani Farmer With Pipe, 1984 - Judith Pollack and I came upon this farmer's village as night was falling. We were given a "de-la" to sleep in, a primitive bed on stilts with a little roof over it. In the middle of the night, we were startled by voices. Fearing attack I looked up. It was the village men planting by moonlight. Here, the farmer smokes a Rajasthani pipe. It was cleverly crafted with a chamber for tobacco, one for water and one for a burning ember.
