Where did you come from?
I come from the only Source, from Spirit. But I also come from a small rural community called Dean, where Lemmon Hill can be found. My roots are deep there amid the maples, along the road flanked by my family’s homes and in so many favourite haunts. I was formed there and imbued with the life and love that I am endlessly thankful for.
Where are you going?
I am going beyond and beyond beyond. I’m leaving myself behind sometimes, but most often still wrapped up in what I think is me. I’m going into the mystery, the only place to find freedom.
Share a piece of art that’s moved you recently.
I was deeply touched this week by a sketch that was posted over at Craig Thompson’s blog. “Her tears intertwining with my veins” gave me goosebumps. Craig is one of my favourite comics creators and he has a gift of depicting tenderness and beauty. I am always urging everyone to read his masterpiece, Blankets.
Pick three words that describe you as you are right now.
I’m ambitious, spacious, and smooth.
Where do you feel most yourself?
I feel most myself when I am intimate with other people. In the context of intimacy all my flaws and strengths come into clearer light and I can more easily see the contractions that hold back who I am.
