I never tire of learning and sharing about the intersection of mind, brain, body, relationships and health. Modern science and ageless wisdom can show us how to deepen our connection with others and maximize our health & wellness.
Follow along as we explore all the ways we’re impacted by the Stories We Live By.
Substack Newsletters
I have a Substack that addresses two separate but overlapping themes.
The first, Stories to Live By, discusses timeless challenges people have faced over the centuries and draws on the wisdom of the past integrated with the discoveries of the present to lay out pathways that help us face those challenges more effectively and humanely. Join me in exploring our past to enhance and enrich our shared future.
The second, Minding Our Health, tackles specific mind-body health topics and identifies perspectives and practices that help us address those concerns with grace, compassion, and effectiveness.

Photography
Photography finds what the eye rushes past.
A fleeting quality of light. The mesmerizing beauty of nature’s wonders. The architecture of a bare tree against the winter sky. The way darkness, given enough time, reveals itself. These books are an invitation to stop — to look again at the natural world and find it stranger, quieter, and more beautiful than we remembered.
Individual photo prints and complete photobooks are available for purchase. Currently three books are available:
- Nature’s Sensuous Call: A Photographic Journey with Reflections and Poetry Every frame a reminder: nature doesn’t need an audience.
- Night Lights: A Photographic Journey Through Time Stand under enough sky and something in you goes quiet.
- People & Places: A Journey into the Textured World of Black and White Photography Strip away color and what’s left is the truth of a thing.
