As a child in Alabama, I would lie in the grass and wonder how an entire universe could fit into those radiant blades hit by the sun.

And what happened to all the life that once flowed in the parts now hinting at brown edges?

In my early years, vivid dreams revealed worlds and people unlike any on Earth — even in books and movies.

What sparked those ideas? Were they real?

Curiosity drove me to ask an annoying number of questions about why this world seems the way it does. And why different people see it differently.

My creativity springs from my dream experiences, Buddhism, children, architecture, writing, art, and illustration. Diagnosed Autistic in 2018, with a son who’s also on the Spectrum, I share my unique insights and view of the world.
