CURRENT MISSION

Comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable.

ABOUT ME

I amone of the founders of the Oklahoma Food Cooperative, www.oklahomafood.coop , the director of music at Epiphany Catholic Church, and active in the Catholic Worker movement. I grow more than 100 different varieties of useful or edible plants on the former lawns of our home close to downtown Okie City. I hold a certificate in permaculture design from Barking Frogs Permaculture, www.barkingfrogspermaculture.org and am a teaching assistant with the BFPC online Permaculture Design Court.

PHILOSOPHY

The world will be saved by Beauty. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. The time to build the cellar is before the tornado hits. You are what you eat. Pray without ceasing. Commit random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
