“In some Native languages the term for plants translates to 'those who take care of us.'
Know the ways of the ones who take care of you, so that you may take care of them. Introduce yourself. Be accountable as the one who comes asking for life.
Ask permission before taking.
Abide by the answer.
Never take the first. Never take the last.
Take only what you need. Take only that which is given.
Never take more than half. Leave some for others.
Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.
Use it respectfully. Never waste what you have taken. Share.
Give thanks for what you have been given.
Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken.
Sustain the ones who sustain you and the earth will last forever.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer,

What can I tell you about myself that will not create labels or expectations?

​

I will say is that I am a passionate advocate of critters, kids, and the planet. Stories, and all the doors they open to other ways of seeing and being in the world, fascinate me. The act of creating and sharing those stories gets me up in the morning and gives me hope that we may yet keep from destroying ourselves.

​

But rather than "tell" you anything more about myself, let's try this. Take a look at the pages on this website. Don't just look. Spend time imagining the stories and experiences they evoke. Then, if anything piques your interest or moves you to respond, drop me a line. I'll be waiting :-)
