THE ROOT OF KNOWING

BELONGING. BECOMING. BEARING FRUIT.

The Art Of Belonging

Belonging begins with attraction. When we teach children to color, to trust what calls to them and make something beautiful that belongs to them, like nature intended.

The Science Of Becoming

Becoming is bound by a Golden Rule. The proof is in the baby. We are wired to care for others as we care for ourselves by an unconditional need to love. Love is care-in-action.

The Bearing Of Fruit

Bearing a fecund world starts our human capacity to create abundant life beyond our biology. The fruition of ideas, dreams, relationships, art, science, commerce, and communities built on what we know.

ENTER THE TROVE

Why spend a lifetime trying to know better when  you already do? Welcome to The Trove, a collection of essays, stories, and rabbit trails that explore how to belong, become, and bear fruit with what we know.  

PICK YOUR FLOWER.

What I Know

I came to this work, not through therapy, or a doctorate, but through a bucket of paint. I didn't hear a calling, and I wasn't particularly gifted at art. Color became my vehicle for self-actualization not because I loved decorating, but because using paint colors to make myself feel at home changed how I felt about the world. ​I built a dream of beauty, belonging , then shared my knowing with others by helping them do the same. That's how I belonged, became, and beared a life of shared dreams. 

The Peace To Know

You are not here to prove what you already know is true. You are here to remember what you need to know, so you can belong, become, and bear fruit.

The Joy To Be

A bee does not wander. It follows attraction. In the following of attraction, it pollinates. In pollinating, it creates abundance. knowing follows the same pattern.
