Fundamentally, Eccentric Bohemian was founded on the ideals of love, compassion, gratitude and a general appreciation for all life forms combined with the freedom to choose one’s own destiny in a manner consistent with this philosophy. Being an Eccentric Bohemian implies embracing the myriad of possibilities that are present within the nature of “being”. The Eccentric Bohemian is a wanderer, either by choice or by nature, who finds “home” wherever and with whomever he is at the moment, and in places and spaces where others may feel uncomfortable. Those places or spaces may be physical or metaphorical locations. This may involve a variety of dimensions, both conscious and subconscious. Only the Eccentric Bohemian knows his own space while there.
Home
The Eccentric Bohemian is one who finds “home” other than his place of birth or where he was raised. There is no metric structure or measure of events or actions to define “home”, and each event and action is as significant as those that have already been and those that are yet to be. The Eccentric Bohemian lives in the moment, forever present, without expectation, eternally grateful for what “is” at the moment of existence. It is not where one goes, but what one can see and hear around him, and the hearts and souls that have been positively influenced throughout each journey. One can choose to stay in one place or travel all over the world possibly seeing nothing, never truly finding “home”, continuing to feel lost. The Eccentric Bohemian intrinsically knows that home is the prelude to the perpetual saga.
Identity
The Eccentric Bohemian is often found in remote or unconventional locations, living in community with others, sharing with others for whatever period may be entailed before continuing the journey. The Eccentric Bohemian often shares responsibilities, compassion, gratitude, appreciation and unconditional love in a variety of ways through actions and words, and through commitments to himself and others. The Eccentric Bohemian approaches others with an open mind and sincerity, respecting others as one respects himself. Interactions exemplify a commitment to these values as emphasis is placed on staying aligned with these core values.
Whenever one finds himself aligned with any majority, it is time to pause and to reflect.
