Intentism

I am a scientist by primary interest, an academician by profession, a philosopher (deep down) by passion, a painter (acrylics) and a writer (historical novels, poetry) by desire (yet unmet due to my dedication to my students and the pursuit of my academic endeavors), a passionate husband to ...my soul-mate and guardian angel (the most beautiful woman in the world!), a dedicated lover of nature, gardenias, fig trees, cypresses and olive trees that remind me of "my" Tuscany, the sea, mountains, and animals (dogs espescially), an immigrant away from the land I love since, well, birth (you do not chose life, you live it [with the conscious intent] to make the best of what you were given], and a Tertiary Franciscan: all first and foremost for the purpose of, with the intent of giving lauds ...ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
