Life has dealt me a mishmash of experiences, from my early days as a naval officer, traversing oceans in large metal ships, to later taking multiple journeys into the Amazon jungle to commune with indigenous healers and wisdom keepers. I’ve spent months in the Yucatan jungle, as well, with a dog as my only companion at times, as I meditated and watched the jade-blue Caribbean waters deliver mounds of cruise-ship trash to my doorstep.
At the end of the day, I’m a person, like any other, doing his part to bring compassion and awareness to a world in rapid transition, as we watch biodiversity decline and the oceans die. Amid this chaos, I see hope, indelibly inscribed in the heart of humanity. I see a time when greed and fear can be set aside, allowing balance to return, when we finally see the truth of our higher selves and embrace the infinite power that is our birthright. It is then that our light will shine brighter than ever before. That time is now, and I write to make that light a little brighter.
