I use this website to learn and to ponder questions that might not occur to me otherwise. I enjoy reading, hiking, baking, music, and being alive. I am also an extreme Star Wars nerd and enjoy science fiction in general.
I am happily married and a proud mother of a two year old boy. Now that I'm rediscovering myself in this new manifestation called Mama, I don't have as much time for soulpancake flipping as I used to have, but I still like stopping by for a syrupy plateful on occasion.
I go by Bodhi and I'm 24 years old. I am learning to be a Baha'i and although I have technically been one for a year, I do not really feel like I can say that I am truly one. But I continue to remind myself that Baha'i's stand for everything that is important to me in life and it just seems like the right thing to do. I have my own apartment downtown and enjoy time to myself. I write Haiku sometimes, am usually a Vegan, and buy environmentally friendly products. I apparently have bipolar mood disorder and have major issues with anxiety. That it
i co-created soulpancake, i'm getting pretty good at musical typing on garageband, and i really like these words:
"The art of music is divine and effective. It is the food of the soul and spirit. Through the power and charm of music the spirit of man is uplifted." // Abdu'l-Baha
"To be a Bahá'í simply means to love all the world; to love humanity and try to serve it; to work for universal peace and universal brotherhood."
"Divine things are too deep to be expressed by common words. The heavenly teachings are expressed in parable in order to be understood and preserved for ages to come. When the spiritually minded dive deeply into the ocean of their meaning they bring to the surface the pearls of their inner significance. There is no greater pleasure than to study God's Word with a spiritual mind." Abdu’l-Bahá
We desire but the good of the world and the happiness of the nations; yet they deem Us a stirrer up of strife and sedition worthy of bondage and banishment... That all nations should become one in faith and all men as brothers; that the bonds of affection and unity between the sons of men should be strengthened; that diversity of religion should cease, and differences of race be annulled -- what harm is there in this?... Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind.
Baha'u'llah

I am an actor and a writer and I co-created SoulPancake and my son, Walter.
I've been told that my laugh is like the sound of the look of the legs of dancing flamingos. I can command my hands to sweat, but haven't figured out how to turn off this action. I have jumped out of a plane before. I love the fact that love is so readily available and accessible, and in so many different forms. A good tune does astounding things to my soul. I feel humbled to be part of the SP think-tank; it allows me to release creativity on a regular basis. Sometimes when I look at people I only see lights. That always makes me smile.
