My writing evokes the soul of complex issues, be they social, environmental, technological or creative. I seek, always, to answer the fundamental question: Why should we care?

We care because we can recognize parts of ourselves even in the unfamiliar. And because we seek to bridge the distances between things we don’t understand.

It is in the telling of stories – familiar or newly unfolded – that our humanity expands.
