Hello there to all past, present, and future members of the forum...........Yes its me again..........saying hello for the every first time on the H Forum. Name's Philip de Genova - live in Rome - play music mostly - flauto traverso - e shakuhachi when I'm in a meditative state of mind. In my younger days I wanted to be a scientist - astronomer - my mother sent me to welding school instead. In place of science I took up art - sculputure. I even cooked and had a small restaurant in Philadelphia - Cafe Santa Maria - Italian, pasta, et al. Got curious about origins and God - stuff like that, so took up philosophy/theolgy for a time. Found out that there was nothing about origins or God in there that I didn't already know. Packed my bags but they are still in the vestibule - enjoying my new found freedom in Rome - the City of No Changes - the Eternal City.
