To me rites of passage through life, that's a wonderful, beautiful thing.

I've always been interested in oral traditions and mythological stories and legends from antiquity that have to do with nature, attempts to explain mysterious or puzzling, or very striking phenomena from nature. Things that people observed or heard about in nature.

I'm interested in authentic experience and the essence of that creative place, and where those myths begin and where they become real on any level.

My stories are sometimes closer to poems or meditations, but often there is at least a little narrative in them.

I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.

I was reading my son some fables; it made for good nighttime reading. These stories were very vivid and very strange and occasionally bizarrely violent. It was a very free landscape.

What I find interesting about folklore is the dialogue it gives us with storytellers from centuries past.
