A gatherer of stories, seeker of truth & purveyor of words<\/h2>\n

I write about conservation and nature; our relationship to place and each other; and the challenges of protecting and healing this battered, but beautiful planet.<\/p>\n

~~~<\/p>\n

As gatherer, I search for stories that reveal who we are; as a seeker, I tease out the tender and tangled roots of the tale; and as a purveyor, I weave these into narratives to expand and enhance our understanding of self, and our view of the world.<\/p>\n

I do this on the unceded lands of the resilient and courageous Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik people; the original inhabitants of the eastern colonial lands now called the Province of New Brunswick, and whose dedication to caring for and honouring their home informs my own worldview and actions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” padding_top=”10″ padding_bottom=”52″ box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_single_image image=”15259″ img_size=”full” hover_animation=”yes” overlay_image_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.48)” show_border=”yes” border_hover_animation=”edgt_box_continue_line” animated_border_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.39)”][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”24″ up_style=”px” down=”0″ down_style=”px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
