Ben R Teeter

Ben Teeter was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland, amidst the blended cultures of old Appalachian ways, prosperous rural Americana, and the vibrant cultural mix of the Washington, D.C. environment.

From a young age, he held a love for writing, but his passion and connection to the art came alive while attending John Hopkins University, from which he received a full scholarship.

It was there, among fellow poets and in the midst of the late 1960s cultural shifts, that his focus moved to the spiritual, metaphysical and transcendental. From this shimmering moment in time, he began his life-long pursuit of searching for deep wisdom and understanding.

In the many years that followed, Ben spent his days working with his hands, building and reflecting, raising a family, and gradually letting words in his heart come to the surface in the quiet morning hours.

He seeks to make connections and encourage others to search out deep knowledge and to reach for the Divine in one’s self and the universe.

From this come the collected fine-honed words of Falling into All.
