ask deeper questions
 
The current dialogue between ourselves and our own culture is failing to yield the kind of insight we need to navigate our reality.  Atheism versus belief; rational versus intuitive. This isn’t working.  I'm suggesting reframing the ways we engage ourselves and one another, in the context of ambient myth, history, and imagination.
 
My work is about being deeply connected creatively, intellectually, and spiritually; driven by curiosity and the response of reasoned compassion.

                                    religion, spirituality, and the                                  
                                    history of ideas.  He lives on
