“I am a person with deep passions, callings, pullings-at-my-spirit that I can’t ignore. I am passionate about care for and with Creation, about racial and gender/orientation inequality and justice. And about our connectedness to each other and all things. I believe that life is hot-wired for community, for connection. And we humans have forgotten that, and we are destroying ourselves and “our common home” as a result. And because I feel so strongly about these things, I find myself called to write, to help us return to that sense of community, to help us look at ourselves and the world in a different way.”
