“The curious don’t long for assurance — they long to breathe inside the unknown.”

It is not arrogance that carries the curious into exile.It is the weariness of endless translation —between what is expectedand what might be accepted. We see worlds assembledfrom headlines and hal…

"All seemed to be one unfolding presence. It was undeniable for a moment, and then it slipped. The river was river again, the sun was sun, and I was me. When I tried to explain it, even to myself, the details dissolved. I wanted to share how complete it felt, yet I knew it was mine alone and already fading..." [read full piece here:

Trying to understand consciousness has something in common with trying to understand the tiniest parts of the physical world. Both raise the same strange issue: the closer we look, the less certain…

June light, ripening fruit, and a single bloom riding shotgun.
What I thought I saw… and what it turned out to be. A small story about perception, grace, and letting beauty lead the way.

It’s the end of June, and the fruit’s just beginning to ripen. All around me, the season is coloring in: peaches, apples, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. Even the garden is in full expressi…

We’re all told the same health advice — what to eat, how to move, what pills to take — as if we all react the same way.
But we don’t. Some people feel great on kale and cardio. Others get wiped out.
Same with meds. What’s “safe for most” can mess someone else up completely.
It’s not about being sensitive. It’s about genes, history, and biology.
Time to stop pretending one-size-fits-all actually fits.

What started as a peaceful walk with the dogs turned into a moment I won’t soon forget. Instincts collided. And in the heart of chaos, something unexpected unfolded.

Here’s what happened—and what it revealed about presence, protection, and the pause in between.

Sometimes life just tosses you into the deep end—no warning, no buildup. Just you, the moment, and whatever it’s here to teach you. This morning, I was deep in my ritual—barefoot at the back edge o…

We used to turn to the sun for healing. What would it take to remember? ☀️

Before antibiotics, before our trust leaned so heavily on pills and prescriptions, sunlight was medicine. Not metaphorically, not poetically—clinically. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, hospitals…

Sometimes the first sign of trouble isn’t what you see or hear—it’s how you feel.

For anyone who’s been through mold illness, this isn’t up for debate. It’s intense. And exposure doesn’t build immunity—it stacks up. It’s cumulative.

It goes beyond mildew on the windowsill. For some, it’s headaches and brain fog. For others, it’s fatigue, irritability, poor sleep, heart flutters, joint pain, or digestion that feels off track. And yes—that endless throat-clearing, post-nasal drip, the subtle sense that you’re never quite breathing clean air. That could all be your house talking.

Learn how to listen.

We’ve had buckets of rain in these parts, and I’ve been having conversations with folks across southern Appalachia about how they’re dealing with it. There’s a shared story …
