ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Christine. I am a poet, a scientist, a mother, and a lover of our natural world. I have always loved this earth and animals. From the time I was a child, playing in the dirt has been natural. My love for nature grew even more when I went to college and got a degree in plant and soil science. For 40 years I worked as a forest soil scientist and continue to work as an environmental consultant today.

For the past 30+ years I have been drawn to spiritual practice and studied with spiritual teachers. Besides meditation we were encouraged to write and develop a practice of self-inquiry. Through the practice of self-inquiry and meditation I have developed a writing style that helps me stay connected to my heart even when facing conflict or the chaos of these times.

Wild Calling

You don’t have to be wild. You can be as tame as a bird in a cage, debating the length of your wings, or the purpose of trees.

But maybe, just once, put up a squawk, and when the door opens, cut loose and take flight in any direction but the one you came from.

Darling, you don’t have to believe me— it is better if you don’t. But trust yourself— you were meant to be free.

Freedom is independence from an outcome. When you stop looking for its source, freedom meets you at the door.

You don’t have to do anything
but stare at the white space on this page and wonder how wild
you can BE.

“You’ve powerfully – and gently – shared the contours of the wild and how they relate and give hope to these very difficult times. “

“My husband asked me during breakfast how losing hospice patients affects me. I quoted him some lines from your introduction about death being a doorway and loss an illusion and becoming stronger and softer. Thank you for giving me the words!”

Carol von Kaenel

Envision it.

Through the beauty of connectivity a new vision is possible. When we awaken to the wild within us we are creating a new paradigm that supports our natural environment, oceans and wild animals.

Be it.

We can all live in a world where the ancient tie that binds humans to nature is restored. Humans, animals and plants and all the species on the planet share a wildly restorative life force. When you tune into this shared life force and connectivity, you cannot help but awaken to wonder.

Grow it.

As we grow into loss, not away from it resilience is gained. Each visitation into the bottom of hardship brings us closer to a softer, stronger and more resilient sense of who we are. Trusting in the resilience in life is what makes the wild Wild and connects humans to animals species.

Protect it.

Through the beauty of connectivity and with deep reverence, we are here as custodians of the natural world. This is our responsibility. To protect animals, to protect our environment. To protect the wild. Let’s shift into the new heart centered paradigm - one that lives in harmony with the natural world.

Share it.

When you awaken to the wonder within you and around you, your heart is inspired to new levels. You can share this inspiration and heart awakening with others. Share my books. Share my poetry. Let’s awaken our wild hearts together. Our love stretches across continents to planets and the solar system in our hearts. You make a difference. You matter!
