RS: What brought you to Reality Sandwich?

A. As a longtime fan of Daniel Pinchbeck's work, I was a regular visitor to
the forums at BreakingOpentheHead.com. I got that "knowing" feeling when I
saw Daniel's request for contributors for a new web magazine, and quickly
got to work on a few demo pieces, which became among the first to run on
Reality Sandwich! As a contributing editor and, most recently, an organizer
for local RS events in Atlanta, I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity
to connect with all our readers and to be of service in furthering this
visionary community. It's been truly magical, and the best writing gig I
could imagine.

RS: What transformations do you hope to see in your lifetime?

A. That's a tough question, as I'm daily wondering exactly what the near
future has in store for us. But whatever may come, I am certain that our
quirky camp of evolutionaries will blaze the way into the next age. I
encourage all who read this to take an active role in the transitioning --
organizing RS events in your hometown is a great start!

Cheers,

Daniel, Ken, Jonathan, Michael, Steven, ST, Kris, Jennifer, Maya, Jon,
Caroline and the rest of the Reality Sandwich team.
