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 I wish for everyone to experience.
May you walk softly, speak beauty, breathe deeply, and feel that misty poetry of the Sequoian Satori.

If God has been good enough to give you a poet
Then listen to him. But for God's sake let him alone until he is dead;
no prizes, no ceremony,
They kill the man. A poet is one who listens
To nature and his own heart; and if the noise of the world grows up
around him, and if he is tough enough,
He can shake off his enemies, but not his friends.
That is what withered Wordsworth and muffled Tennyson, and would have
killed Keats; that is what makes
Hemingway play the fool and Faulkner forget his art.

Heck, being a writer on a mission to reinvigorate the imaginations of sleepy Earthlings costs time AND money! While we live in an age of imprudent temporal abundance, I’ve managed to stay cool in my 2006 Honda Accord and live well with less. My modest means are bootstrapping a mission to revive our lost love of literature, poetry, and the spoken story. I think it's kind of important. If you agree and want to see the next generation excited to read words on real paper about the magic of life on Earth, then let's talk about becoming my patron saint.
