About

Deborah always felt puzzled by life. Puzzled by her lack of understanding life within day-to-day living.  She questioned and sought answers for how to feel safe and secure, to do the right thing, the good thing, amidst the chaos and confusion.  

​

From an early age, Deborah would escaped into the thick woods behind her house in rural PA, where comfort and peace were located.  A sense of freedom descended while discovering fields of wild daffodils, where blackberries and raspberries warm from the sun delighted the tastebuds (and belly), where a creek emptied in the river with lots of creatures to observe and to capture (for a few moments).  There was no “otherness” in nature for Deborah.  The mystery of Nature was soothing, though the mystery of daily living was confusing and scary.  From this noticeable and perplexing schism between these two worlds, her search for understanding grew.  How can one feel so at home in the natural world, yet so unsure in daily life?  This question lived inside Deborah.  

 

Thus, her life’s journey began in discovering and embodying what it means to be genuinely human.
