title: The Journals Book II: Into the Gulf
author: David Rippe
description: Everyone has a mission in life. For R.T. Stone, it is to challenge belief and expand the soul-without taking things too seriously. R.T. is a literary mystic whose work transcends the known senses to reveal the hidden meaning, the universal truths, and yes, the humor that surrounds us. He is a man who questions, who delves beneath the obvious and the curious to find the marvelous and surfaces with answers to life's myriad questions. He enjoys a peaceful lifestyle centered on family, meditation, activism, vegetarianism, music, reading and travel. He strives to embrace the energetic flow of all things. "We each walk our own path, find our own light. Hopefully we can laugh at ourselves on our journey of discovery."
