About Me

I am a peace-loving, nature-lover; I am concerned for planetary health, and greatly enjoy physical fitness, art, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, mythology, sci-fi, poetry, prose, and essays. I appreciate meditation in numerous forms, contemplation, and advocacy for creating a better world. I constructively act with compassion toward others; as the best way of being responsible for myself. As a stable, caring, and sensitive person with a rich sense of humor, I appreciate each day for being an opportunity to react to life with hope; without denying the deeply troubled nature of our times. I am also on the Board of Directors for the Maine Jung Center, The Humanity Institute, and The Institute for Contemplative Education
