"The pure actions of the cook must come forth from his realization of the unity of all things and beings; and by seeing clearly into the minds and hearts of others, from a leaf of cabbage he must be able to produce a 16-foot Buddha."
--Dogen-zenji
Burned out after more than 20 years as a Chicago journalist, in 1993 I moved to Seattle and began designing wildlife-friendly gardens and natural landscapes. Now I live on my own 250 acres of land in the Acadian Forest region of the Northeast; I am making a home both here and, increasingly, on the Internet. Having had a well-misspent life, I now have the time to indulge my interests: food, plants, critters, ecology, technology, philosophy.
