I write to a world I’ll never see, to all the people who will cross my children’s path in their lifetime.

I plant trees and herbs for the generations of wild children I won’t meet.

I listen..because well, I believe that magic happens when we listen, try to understand and give people the freedom to be themselves.

I ask questions because we’ve been running from the truth for far too long.

I speak authentically and boldly so that the men and women that come after me will not wonder where in history they lost their voice.

I love free and deeply with the hope that love connects all things and really does have the power to create change.

I write, I listen, I ask questions, I speak, I love and I plant things and then I pray that it will somehow be enough.
