Growing up on a farm and spending my childhood playing in the fields, river, and forest was an invaluable and precious experience. While playing among the trees, I felt time moved more slowly. The world was vast and at the same time intricate and forever fascinating. My imagination grew and I felt more spiritually awakened. The variety and beauty of the natural world is inspiring and honest, sometimes in ways that are disturbing (predator and prey, death and decay), yet beautifully balanced. Technology and art have also been important and ever-present in my life; my mother is an artist and my father is an engineer. I am grateful that they brought me up on a farm. The smell of hay, mud, and tree bark are sweet perfume to me. I never liked the smell of the cow manure, but as I was saying.. BALANCE. And at least it was spread out over many acres...
