Sequoian Satori began as a search for meaning and became a quest down Highway 1 to understand the mysteries of life. Poetry made my imagination translatable - a way to integrate the moments that I'd only felt and sensed. What was often whimsical and absurd musings, arrived as pure joy like a sunrise in the Redwoods. When I write, I often feel a sudden jolt of insight or Satori and this is something that I wish for everyone to experience.

May you walk softly, speak beauty, breathe deeply, and feel that misty poetry of the Sequoian Satori.
