I was born in London, Canada, and raised in St. Thomas. Southwestern Ontario is agriculturally generous—Endless acres of cropland. As a child, when my parents used to drive from St. Thomas to London, I used to look out the window at the long fields that stretched over crests or into the horizon. I used to think–words that I can only summarize at my age now–how simple and joyous life would be to just walk in fields. Now I walk in fields all through the Mediterranean. And how simple and joyous life is.
