I… Continue reading Beyond the Veil: A Love Letter to the Witness

The One Guru is You
What if there were no gurus?No masters. No chosen few.Only consciousness, remembering itself through you.

The Currency of Love
I used to think the universe ran on a law of exchange: work hard, earn the reward; lose something, gain the lesson—the cosmic version of a balanced checkbook.

Firelight
The Hope We Carry in the Dark In the dark, I hold onto the ache of what once was. Silence comes, laced with sadness and grief—and yet, within it, a tiny glimmer of hope.

The Sitcom Version of My Life
Stepping back on stage, delivering my lines differently Sometimes I wish my life came with a laugh track. You know the sound—that gentle cue in a sitcom that tells you, “This is awkward but not the end of the world.” Like when Laverne (Penny Marshall) would boss Shirley (Cindy Williams) around and they’d turn their… Continue reading The Sitcom Version of My Life
The Boulder and the Mountain
Transformed in the Light of Shakti’s Embrace Last night I had a vision. I was pushing a huge boulder up a steep mountain. It hadn’t always been this way—the rock began as a small pebble, something I kept nudging forward until it grew enormous. What started as a gentle hill became a towering mountain. And… Continue reading The Boulder and the Mountain
