Why I write…

I write because a still, small Voice within tells me to do so

I write to allow the shadows within my soul to find some sunlight

I write for the teenage me that thought he was the only one

I write to build beloved community and to join the universal dance of the freed

Who I am…

  • Lover of God and creation

  • Mystic and contemplative

  • Nonprofit steward @LiveNestled, welcoming beloved community through neighboring support + cooperative housing that centers singles.

  • Endlessly curious about other cultures and wisdom traditions

What I write about…

I write reflectively and vulnerably about the journey of reconnection to myself, God, and humanity.
