I invite you into this ecology of communication. Pick the flowers, pee in the bushes, throw the stones, watch the clouds, sleep in the shade, and eat the fruit. I welcome you to wriggle and scratch in these pages and find rest and revolution.

Don’t just give your gifts to people. Give relevance to the invisible by leaving offerings at rivers, or sewing prayer flags for the forest. Build cairns on mountain tops, plant wildflowers in parking lots, and live your life as it were an endless offering of beauty. Any small crumb of thanks we give to the holies makes them come alive with delight

I believe that what we want to write wants to be written. I believe that as I have an impulse to create, the something I want to create has an impulse to want to be born. My job, then, is to show up on the page and let that something move through me. In a sense, what wants to be written is none of my business.
