As a writer, I invite the reader to explore with me the life of the Spirit—how we are each called into the fullness of our being; our responsibility to articulate personal truth and thus bring about justice and social change; and what it means to serve the source of love at the center of creation.

Writing is a chance to participate in creation.
We create by listening to our inner voice, in all its whimsy and profundity. We create by heeding the will of our stories, following their lead into sharper insight and then out into the world, where they spit and spark in others’ hearts. Just as we can cast words into the future and then reel ourselves forward into a new way of being, our creative work can bring wider, radical transformation to our communities and culture.
