The Most Current Book:
SLOW MOVING CLOUDS
As clouds move, so does time.
As mist falls, so does growth occur.
A trip to the mountains can bring unexpected gifts.
Waterfalls spill secrets; birds sing ancient and mysterious songs.
The island pulls you into floral folds of mountains, and into its laurel forests mists.
What you discover is only yourself.
Such is this, on the mystical island of Madeira.
New poems
as told through hints of the mythic,
as observed through a sense of the ephemeral,
and as guided by a sense of pure joy,
with glimpses of the numinous,
somehow becoming a part of it,
in a deepening journey of self-discovery,
finding oneself just being there.
The Portuguese archipelago of Maderia, known as the Pearl of the Atlantic, is a place of immense and diverse beauty.
Creative writing from the heart.
Welcome.
I experience writing as pure joy. For me, writing is craft as well as an incredible creative and spiritual journey.
Poetry: My writing often touches on the exploration of self, nature, and a heart-centered experience of a spiritual being in a human body. I am sometimes directly influenced by my work as a yoga, meditation, and Sanskrit mantra meditation teacher.
Short Fiction: You will find a range of styles and topics, reflecting my love for creating voice. I particularly enjoy writing in first person, making my protagonists full participants in their own stories.
Creative NonFiction: The quest for truth within experience and the impermanent nature of being human always interests me. If there is a story in my experience that might offer insight into living, I offer it through creative nonfiction.
Come on the journey with me! My books are available worldwide by online order at most major book retailers and independent bookstores.
