I welcome hearing from readers. We are two halves of a
whole, you and I. We create our own eco-system, writer and
reader. We thrive from one another's activities, like bees
and blossoms.
In Jackson Hole, where I have lived for the past 25 years,
this connectedness of living things is so present it would
be difficult to exclude it from one's world view. The
mountain ranges are vast and beautiful; the wild animals
varied and abundant; the weather fierce; and the people
living here awake to it all.
If anything defines my life it is the intention to become
fully aware and participating in the exchange of creative
energy all about me. That includes writing, of course, but
also includes my relationships, the outdoors, and spiritual
practice.
These subjects are what I write about, either overtly or
covertly. I write about what I want to understand, following
my curiosity toward a place that often asks more questions
than it answers. But that, too, is true of life.
Joseph Campbell said, "People say that what we're seeking is
a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really
seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of
being alive..."
As readers and writers, we agree with Joseph Campbell. We
both read and write in order to expand our experiences of
being alive.
