The Grandfather Timeline: Seeing Both Directions

This morning, 7:13 AM, Croatian hat settled on my head, backpack loaded with gear I probably don’t need. The familiar circuit calls—out the front door, down to the path, into the rhythm that unwinds whatever the mind has been tangling. The weekend just passed brought a new soul into our family circle. A tiny human, barely breathing outside the womb, is already reshaping the geometry

The Realm of Possibility

In this contemplative riff inspired by Michael Neill’s teaching, I explore what it means to return to the space before thought, that fertile void the Taoists speak of, where anything can grow. This piece is a reflection on presence, memory, and the quiet revolution of living from the realm of possibility. A gentle invitation to slow down, tune in, and remember the gate has always

Breaking Free from Inner Hypnosis: A Journey to Authentic Living

a pocket of peace for your scroll-weary soul

A moment arrives—you know the one. You’re three hours deep in the luminous abyss, thumb dancing across glass, consuming fragments of other people’s lives like digital communion wafers. The blue light baptises your retinas while somewhere, buried beneath notifications and dopamine hits, your actual heartbeat whispers, “Remember me?” That’s the moment. The sacred interruption occurs when the soul taps you on the shoulder and gently

you can have peace now (but you won’t want to)

The book says, “Breathe! You Are Alive.” And for once, I didn’t argue. This morning, after feeding the kittens, I stepped barefoot into the back garden, coffee in hand, Kindle open to a quiet teaching. The sun was already waiting—warming the stone steps, drying last night’s dew. A soft breeze moved through the grass, and Thich Nhat Hanh greeted me with the kind of invitation
