Since I began my career
as a photojournalist in 1986, I have been growing this sense deeply while covering
wars and environmental destruction, learning of the lives of those who are affected
with diseases, and seeing the trials faced by people who are struggling to put
troubled pasts behind them.
Through my books, and through this website, I would like to show you the efforts
of people who are seeking to learn what we can do to live in harmony. Here you
will find healing gardens for the sick and disabled, community gardens that revive
communities, the power of human-animal bonding for emotionally injured children
and adults, art in medicine, the creative wisdom of those challenged with life-threatening
diseases, and much more.
