I, as poet, live a solitary 4-P journey with the partners of prose, poetry, photography, and prayer. In my journey of time and light, I’ve learned that I can free myself from the ballast of ordinary time and soar in the light. This is time travel for me. Orchids and Neurons is an exploration of poetry as molecular and metaphysical, as highly musically-patterned and ontological. The poet is a simply a medium used in a complex process. In this recent body of work, may you discern my process and see yours.

Abby is 12 years old when tragedy strikes a few weeks before Christmas. Soon after, Abby and her mother find themselves out on the streets in the bitter cold. But the heartache has only begun, and each Christmas brings cruel twists of fate that change Abby's life forever. The factory job Abby thought would save her sends her running for her life. When she can run no more and collapses on the street, she is taken in by Lucas, a man she wants to trust, but can't. She accepts the job he offers, buying time until she can escape.

It all breaks like the tide upon the shore, where lovers ease their hurts and find their sorrows dissolved in the softness of that truth to hold and give that acceptance where love has no bounds.
