Steve Roberts
serves fellow explorers of life’s two most important questions: What’s going on, and what’s the healthiest action I can take in this moment? To this end, Steve champions the most fear-provoking point of view the world has ever known: Everything is a gift, and the business of life is discovering how come. He finds the spirit of the universe to be playful, loving, deep. Besides laughter and the sharing of experience, his expressions of this spirit include several hundred essays, a novel, some 2000 drawings, countless stone sculptures built & photographed on his Vermont mountainside over a quarter century, and a portfolio of professional communication for clients who favor a collaborator who aspires to write like a freight train driven by Mother Teresa.

To a child of my heart, I’m about to pass along a gift given me by the universe nearly a quarter century ago: my cameo ring with the bust of Aristotle. As you may anticipate, it comes with a story.
