Throughout my life, my most consistent endeavor has been to wonder about and explore issues that touch my own life, always searching for truth and meaning. Then I create, I teach, I guide & companion, I write, and I speak about my discoveries. As a result of my seeking, my theology and my work in the world both come from a place in my heart that is grounded by personal experience as well as the spiritual perspective that the search for reality and the search for God are one and the same.
I welcome you to my website, and am honored and grateful to have your companionship on this journey.
Over the centuries, spiritual directors have been described as "Midwives of the Soul." Accordingly, the process of spiritual direction has been described as "listening into being." Combining the tradition of the Celtic Anam Cara (Soul Friend) and the classic spiritual practices of the ancients in the desert, I listen to and for, foster contemplation, and accompany fellow seekers on their life journeys into the Spirit. . . .
I have always known that a primary part of my life's purpose is to observe and to report about what I have observed. My writing on many topics—mainly in the style of essay or creative nonfiction, and the genre of memoir—has served to fulfill this purpose.
