| Bio: |
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you when forget-me-nots are withered. Carve your name on hearts, and not on marble.
- C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon
My names are many. I am called, amongst other things ...
... Jericho Johnson, by a mother that I never knew.
... Deramani, by a proud son of the Cherokee who refused to be tamed.
... Han Meng Shi, by a proud brother who refused to be bound by the bureaucracy of a sedated world.
... Lion, by those who view within me and see the stalking shadow that watches the world.
... Miracle, by a wonderful woman ... ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gothiqroze ... who has taught me to love and live again, and to see the world with my own eyes, and to trust my innate power. Were she not so much the Dream, the name would be equally applicable to her.
But most just call me Jer. *smiles gently*
This is a study in an artist and hippie's creativity and evolution.
In the end, though ... it's just a man walking through life.
At current, I am a supervisor for Patient Transportation at the Cleveland Clinic. It is not my final destination, and my dreams are many.
I am also on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/deramani.
If you justify vanity as 'self-confidence' and cruelty as 'honesty', use the search option above and go elsewhere. Just because a compass seemingly bears one point of direction to follow does not make it the best means of orienteering ... sometimes, the heart guides more effectively than anything else and doesn't require narcissism to validate its mettle.
