Love to exist, exist to love

At its core, my Love Letters to Mother Earth series is about the act of getting to know and love myself, others, and this world. It's about the power of seeing reality for what it is (complex yet also simple at the same time, messy, a mixed bag, beautiful and horrifying, clarity mixed with an infinite array of unsolvable mysteries) and choosing to love this existence anyway. 

Love is more than a feeling — love is action, how we approach challenges, and a driver of the choices we make.

About the Love Letters to Mother Earth collection

What moves us toward protection and care if not love? In honoring and loving my natural self, my soul, I learn how to safeguard my tenderness and the magic that is mine to wield. And this love guides me toward the people and spaces where I feel free and valued as my true self.

My hope is that in honoring and loving wild lands, tender artists, our authentic selves, this mysterious and beautiful universe, and this magical and messy planet of ours, we will learn to safeguard what is precious and sacred in each other and this world. Standing under a canopy of towering trees is humbling, freeing, incomparably special. It’s precious. So are you and so am I and so is each river and forest and so is this planet.
