So it begins.

I have often found written words expose what I think about a subject but wasn’t able to voice. This technique of discovery plays out in writings about nature and nature-based arts, comparative religion topics, poetry, late middle age riffs and the joys and tribulations of homesteading in Northern Michigan. Too often, our culture asks us to present an artificially focused and unified persona in our writing and art. I’ll do my best to challenge that mask and illustrate why joy, in all its’ shades and textures, is the one thing inevitable for us all.
