What’s next?
I’m glad you’re still here with me in these strange times! For me, the past few days were spent enjoying quiet contemplation, away from social media and making the most of solitary time (or almost, as Metta is at my side) while I recharge and renew myself for the longer days ahead. Fifteen years ago today my baby son Victor…

Grieving and believing our way to healing
We are currently in a moment of our collective experience that lends itself very well to such profound contemplation, and there is no better time than now to clarify what we believe so we can go forward through all of the urgently needed adjustments on the horizon.

Conscious choice
The paradox of our lives is that our dysfunctional “reality” is maintained by the massive denial of our current reality. We are cheerfully consuming and destroying our own support system, a slow suicide, but not wanting to acknowledge this unbearable truth.

Peace stems from true inner silence, which is is the result of training the mind away from its mad theories and assumptions, and towards this moment, where change and connection with life are (instantly and eternally) possible. Understand…

Grounding before taking off
More than ever, our spiritual practice is vital to sustaining us every day, and in every moment in every day, without exception. When we can be with ourselves without anything added for several moments a day, perhaps gradually extending that to longer periods of time or more frequent moments of stillness and pure being-ness each day, we are practising living…

The masks we wear
Most often, we don’t know the effects of our actions, or our inaction (both of which can be called karma), until long afterwards - if at all!
