We each tell two stories:

1. One at the surface of life.
2. And one breathed deep. 

It's the way things appear vs. the way they ARE.

There is power in the tales we decide to tell ourselves, the mental pictures that we carry with us through all our days.

Part poet, part photographer (all artist) I’m drawn to the dark places to make visible your invisible. To tell the truth. To write from the bone.

You may climb a ladder into the star sprinkled sky, float heart deep in a river, or shed healing tears as flowers bloom from your empty palms.

Whatever shape our time together takes, I promise to listen to both your story and the Creator. I promise to guide you, laugh with you, and give you the most precious thing I know: a deeper vision of yourself.

“I shut my eyes in order to see.” - Paul Gaugin

I’ll open mine when you close yours.
