The way I see the world in light of my difficult past as I rose up from the muck and found strength and courage to carry on.This is healing and at the same wretching to the core.
I have been writing ever since I was a child. I lean toward nature, as I love the natural state of the Earth, those parts untouched by man. I feel I am one with nature and animals and I enjoy writing of my excursions into the forests or of watching a graceful blue heron rising up from a pond. I do, though, come from a dark past. Up from the Muck will enlighten you to my rise from pools of grief and the trials of my soul. However, I have managed to survive and I hope that my words can heal you. I want to show life and nature are a spiritual part of everyday life as we are swept into its currents as we try to make sense of our existence. We can find enlightenment in our surroundings and heal each other’s pain and sorrow.
