I write to touch my truth, connect with source,
express my gratitude for the great mystery.

As a nature poet, I immerse myself in the natural world for weeks or months at a time. I live simply, camping beside rivers and oceans, until I slow down and get quiet enough to attune to earth’s rhythms. Here, I find that everything is alive and speaking to me in its native tongue, and I am humbled and transformed. Being one with nature, breathing and beating with life, is my kind of magic.

I want my poems to inspire people to remember who we are and to realign our values with kindness and inclusivity. I want to point people back to the essential ways of living where we find healing and wholeness in nature and community. I wish to be a voice that leads us out of consumerism and competition, in which we try to fill the endless hunger of our hearts with things and media rather than creativity and connection. I re-imagine a world in which we live in harmonious relationship with the earth and each other, taking responsibility for our place within this vital web of interbeing.

Part incantation, part trail-guide, part ode to life, my poems are how I pray, how I find my way home. They are my invitation to take heart and belong in this wildly beautiful, often heartbreaking, and brief life of ours.
