The Why

Everyone has a reason why they write. Mine is that it helps me to slow down and pay deeper attention to the world around me–to connect with myself, with others, and with the places that I love. I write poetry, fiction and non-fiction. I also love to read. I am particularly interested in exploring how our internal world shapes the world around us, and how the world around us, in turn, shapes us.

I share my writing in the hope that it will be of service to others–be it humans or the natural world.

When not writing I enjoy running, swimming, yoga, dancing and traveling to new places. I also love to hike and spend quiet time in wild natural areas.

I hope some of the thoughts and ideas that I share in this space facilitate a shift in perspective, forge new connections, and invite reflection for both you and me!
