David Cary Lane is a strange mixture of hippie backpacker, military officer, and contemplative writer and poet. His oddly eclectic range of experiences, from taking a year-long spiritual pilgrimage around the world, to leading logistics operations for the safe reception of Afghan refugees have led him to writing about the complexities of life, love, and the human experience.He spends his free time playing with poetry, surfing, and sipping on reasonably affordable wine while cuddling his puppy, Mila, and laughing with his wife, Emmie.
