    May 4 2024
    Excerpt: "ome days it’s I’ve got it all together. Other days it’s more trying to hold onto and pick up what’s falling apart. Some days feel easy and clear. Other days feel uphill and cloudy."

  • Closure (92)
    May 3 2024
    Excerpt: "It wasn’t until recovering from my brain injuries that I learned and experienced that every “thing” arises with its opposite. It’s commonly referred to as the Law of Opposites. But I had no idea that this existed and, for the first 38 or so years of my life, I operated under the assumption that I could get the “thing” I wanted and avoid its opposite altogether. I tried to isolate the enjoyment and happiness of the process from the feelings of sadness and loss that naturally come with finishing the project. I tried to move from one stage of life into the other without completing the former. So much of the past 8 years has been learning how to be with life as it is as I am."

  • Seduced by the Breath (91)
    May 2 2024
    Excerpt: "My attempt to find something to disrupt my peace was like riding a bike with a chain that keeps slipping when the gears are stripped, or trying to tighten a nut on a bolt whose threads are almost bare, or attempting to get a rear-wheel drive car to go up a steep hill on a solid sheet of ice. As soon as I tried to put my mind in gear, as soon as I attempted to apply some pressure, as soon as I tried to get somewhere else, it was as if the chain of reactivity slipped, the nut-i-ness of the mind lost its ability to hold, and the wheels of machinating completely and utterly spun out. So I was left to just be here, now."
