I wonder if I will ever be able to sum up, in a couple of paragraphs, what it is I do. Like many, I strive to live creatively, ensuring both everyday survival needs and necessities of soul. My passion is finding ways to connect with—and evoke—life’s inconceivable mystery, and to share communication about that I have forgone financial security and other material comforts.

My inner life is as real to me as the cold grip of a snowscape in North America or the blossoming beauty of London in spring. Mostly I patrol the borderlands. And when I see something worth reporting, I work my way back home and struggle to give it a voice.
