Autorenporträt

In 1999, I made a pilgrimage to the Scottish island of Iona. Like many pilgrims before me, I felt that I had come home. A love for the wisdom of the early Celtic Christians was kindled. On subsequent pilgrimages to Ireland, the flame grew brighter.

That inspiration was nourished into a living practice by years of engagement with the Sacred Art of Living Community near my home in Oregon. Through that engagement the Anamcara Tradition came alive.

I spent 39 years as a family practice, naturopathic physician in Eugene, Oregon. I've helped to raise six amazing children and am now blessed with four wonderful grandchilren.

I see my "coming home" to the Anamcara Tradition as the culmination of a life-long exploration of many spiritual traditions (I respect them all) and of over fifty years of practicing meditation.

Retirement has allowed me to pursue writing. I do so not only because of the joy it brings me, but also, now that I'm in my twilght years, to try to share whatever wisdom I've gleaned that I hope might help younger generations to care for this utterly beautiful and deeply threatened world we call home.

I began this story while at a writer's workshop with my beloved wife on Inish Mor, off the west coast of Ireland. I'm not Irish, a historian, or a scholar, so I ask forgiveness for any historical and/or cultural faux pas I may have made from those readers who know more. That said, I hope you enjoy my story. May it be for the Good.
