David aspires to freedom, both personal and communal, and has an unwavering devotion to the well-being of the planet. He longs for the day when we share a respect for each other that leaves no room for pretense and deception, for the day when our faith in ourselves is secure, and we are not threatened by expressions of truth that differ from our own. The day that we accept one another candidly and offer ourselves sincerely is the day that we will find freedom! The journey toward that day is great and long. It must be taken step by step. This website is one of his steps in that direction. > “I long for the day when we share a respect for each other that leaves no room for pretense and deception.
