Today, Contemplative
It would seem logical to post something in honor of today, Earth Day. And maybe it's just the residue of all the nature rants we've read this semester. Or the fact that being stuck at home with a sick toddler meant that I didn't spend a single minute outdoors today, as I had hoped to do. Or maybe it's just that I find myself nodding in agreement, more than a little bit, with this writer of the piece, "Why I Hate Earth Day." Yes, really this day should be celebrated, the Earth celebrated. But how much more meaningful if we all lived as if Earth Day was just every day?

About Me
I am a nature writer and educator who has lived all over the US and abroad, including many seasons working in Sequoia National Park. For now, I make my home in the New River Valley of southwestern Virginia at the confluence of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains. I currently teach courses in nature and environmental writing and creative nonfiction in Chatham University's low-residency MFA program. All my writing focuses on the intricacies of place and I am particularly interested in the portrayal of animals in folklore, myth, science, and natural and cultural history in order to meditate on the complexities of human-animal relationships.
