This piece was inspired by my decades of work spanning science, environment, and communications. As I iterate in the blog, language plays a strong role both in how we perceive our reality, and how we can create the positive change we wish to see in the world.

Harmonies of Time and Space
I’m sitting just above the surging waters of a post-storm creek that flows through a canyon outside of the town of Ojai, California. I splurged on a two-day vacation for myself, a self-imposed retreat immersed in nature (from the glamping comfort of an RV) where I could practice a bit more presence, and perhaps chip away at some of the residue left by a constant buildup of internal dialogue

When you close your eyes and think of some creature in nature that embodies ‘strength’, what do you see?
I see a solitary oak tree, towering and ancient with countless gnarled branches, in the middle of a soft green meadow.
