I’ve been finding an outlet via writing for over a decade now. And the theme I find myself returning to time and time again is the way in which a “thing” does not end at the boundary of its own “thingness”. It flows past, tumbles towards, finds confluence with… some larger, integrated, flow-like whole.
My first book, Freeing the Firefly, was about leaving behind a version of Christianity imparted to me as a child. Replacing it with a more open view of the Divine and spirituality. I realized that just like the fireflies I’d catch in mason jars as a kid, the Divine dies and loses its light when contained within a limited and narrow scope. It suffocates and, as a result, loses its potency and wonder. My second, Are We Seeing This, was a collection of poems and essays — observations really — about ways in which the world is trying to invite each of us into participation and communion.
This site hosts writing and also serves as a general landing ground for anyone interested in my work. Thanks for stopping by!
