Writings

​

“Sitting quietly doing nothing spring comes and the grass grows by itself.” ~ Zen Poem

​

My writing explores old truths in new ways. It’s a reflection of how my life experience has influenced me. I may say things in ways that are different from how you might say them, yet I trust that you will find an interpretation that holds meaning for you.

​

Several categories of writing are available. All invite you to explore your own truth more deeply. Most are free of charge. I welcome conversation about anything I write … in the form of your support, encouragement, relatedness, or even argument. Feel free to contact me; it’s how we all learn and grow.

​

• Newsletters – “Purposeful Wanderings” – each month I write a one-page article on a topic of interest in navigating life’s journey more authentically. Each includes an exercise, a window into how nature deals with the idea, and a book recommendation. (Both audio and pdf versions also available for each.)  
   

• Articles – whenever a thought strikes me (often in response to my observations of “life on planet Earth”), I write about how and why the topic relates to how we might live more authentically and sustainably.  
   

• Points to Ponder – a collection of simple messages with the potential to change your life.
   

• Inspirations – again, when an idea strikes, I pair one of my nature photos with an inspirational message. Food for thought.
   

• “In Nature’s Image” – a slide show containing just over 100 of my nature photographs, each with a thought-provoking message on living more wholeheartedly. 
   

• My Books – available for purchase, my two books: Living Authentically … in a World that Would Rather You Didn’t, and A Field Guide to Life: Navigating the Challenges of Our Lives and Times. In addition, a single pdf file of all 20 years of Purposeful Wanderings newsletters.
