The Open Road: a learning community

Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road...
Henceforth, I ask not good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.
--Walt Whitman

Friends, teaching, wild exploration, reading, digging in the dirt, my family, philosophy, poetry–the beautiful challenges of my every day. Included in this are the last five years of facilitating a writing and dialogue group at Two Rivers prison and collaborating with the composer Lisa Marsh, my poems becoming songs.
