About

I'm not here to be your guru.

Good thing, too - I don't have the wardrobe for it. No mountain retreat. Just a bicycle, a meditation cushion that's seen better days, and nearly thirty years of notes from trying to figure this out.

What I Write About

Everything that makes being human complicated. Relationships. Decisions. The gap between who we think we are and who we actually are.

I happen to have thirty years of meditation practice. That's the lens, not the subject.

The Short Version

I spent seven years in my twenties inside what turned out to be a cult-like organization. I didn't know it at the time - I was young, hungry for meaning, and someone seemed to have answers.

That experience taught me one thing I couldn't have learned any other way: no one else can be your foundation.

For the next twenty years, I practiced with my eyes open. I found a tradition that actually encouraged questions. I became an instructor. I sat with hundreds of people in meditation. And through all of it, one thing became clearer than anything else:

The answers were never outside me. The practice just helped me get quiet enough to hear what I already knew.

Why I Write

I write because I couldn't find someone who'd talk about this stuff honestly - without the cosmic fluff, without the guru posturing, and without pretending they have it all figured out.

These are my notes. Take what's useful. Leave what isn't.

And if something here helps you trust yourself a little more - or question a little deeper - that's the whole point.
