My Garden

I thought I had to work hard to make things happen.

I excelled at it. I did a lot of striving and self-sacrifice to meet benchmarks and achieve results. But my goals and measures of success were all focused on the external. There was always a new challenge, a change to adapt to, or something to learn. That newness was fun... until it burned me out. I became aware that all the things I had striven for and achieved felt empty of meaning.

The journey from there to here has taught me that we each have something within of us that is like a seed waiting to be nurtured. I actually think it starts growing without our awareness... and when it gets so big that it butts up against the limits and structures we have built, our life begins to fall apart as because the seed knocks over everything in its way!

My Garden grew from this journey of self-discovery. With this collection, I celebrate a life lived with trust that what moves through us is nothing less than the creative force of all things, and I dedicate my life to creating in concert with that force. These are the seeds I sow.

Welcome to My Garden.
