“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.” ― Thomas Merton

After all these years, I still struggle with the idea that we can encapsulate our lives through the prism of a grey, monolith screen. But if I'm asked who I am, I normally answer by saying: I'm a frail, often morally-wounded human who struggles to make sense of a world self-styled in the myth of growth, self-absorption and an obsession with being all you can be. As to what I do or have done, right now I'm a recovering lawyer, scribe and coach. What does that really mean? In short, I've acquired a bushel of skills and have managed to navigate a few of life's (many) obstacles, but mostly, I now help people navigate, as best I know how, the vicissitudes of life by inviting them to ask a more beautiful question and connect soul with role.
