Cathie Bird
I'm a citizen journalist, citizen scientist, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I lived most of my life west of the Mississippi, but now I live in the Cumberland Mountains of east Tennessee near two headwater streams of the Cumberland River.
I love to write about psychoanalysis, nature, science, social justice, subtle energy fields and subtle activism. I’m especially interested in edges, spaces and places where all of these fields intersect.
Interests in nature and photography: My undergraduate degree from Michigan State University was in Parks and Recreation Administration (College of Agriculture) with a focus on environmental interpretation. I worked as a naturalist at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota for two seasons prior to graduation. After that, I married Bill, an environmental engineer with the Federal Highway Administration in Denver. I worked a couple of seasons at Rocky Mountain National Park, and camped, hiked and traveled in several western states with Bill.
These experiences, in particular, gave me the opportunity to live, work and play in some of the most awesome natural landscapes in the United States. I have enjoyed photographing these landscapes, and the beings that live in them, for many years.
