I am a Wilderness Wanderer

Guided by those who have shared their experiences, helping me to make sense of my own.

I am a Meaning-Maker

Guided by connections between the natural and spiritual world, realizing that they are one and the same.

I am a Collector of Stories

Guided by the light and wisdom woven into the sacred texts of our lives.

Fair Warning:

I do not have answers—only questions—and a willingness to sit quietly long enough to listen for their answers.

My sharp edges are beginning to be worn down by age—and the truth of Ecclesiastes 1:18—“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge the more grief.”

I am a Work in Progress—an Unfinished Masterpiece—Who has come far enough to know, that there is much further yet to travel.

Feel free to contact me. I would love to hear your stories and questions.
