philanthropicpanic

I spend a lot of time thinking about thinking about time. It slips away, it passes as we age and get jaded, complacent, passive. Philanthropicpanic is my way of expressing that part of my life that wants to help others, be charitable, wise, loving, passionate and philanthropic. I want to give my time, and my patience, but sometimes, I have to settle for a link, video or quote to let others know that there are others out there balancing the act. Some times when I'm sitting in front of my computer, working or playing, I panic, and I think collect this angst, energy, drive in a single place, that's philanthropicpanic.
