“Follow your curiosity.” - Albert Einstein
A memory of dark days filled with sunshine. Of darkness and light in synchrony.
A poem about growing into our own while retaining autonomy, and how those who go before us can support this process while leaving room for a natural becoming.
An exploration of the journey that begins, once we have set our intentions, to move us toward the direction of achieving our goals. As we move through the year and work towards achieving our goals or embodying certain values; we will find ourselves facing one challenge after the next, along the way.
These are little nudges that will progressively open up the path before us.
Will you continue to play or give up along the way?
As the new year begins, let us take a moment to think of how we wish to look back on year’s end.
How will we move through life’s ebbs and flows, the wins and losses, lessons and growth?
To be alive, after all, is to continually grow! I wish you a wonderful 2026.
Seasons greetings and best wishes for 2026! See you next year, enjoy the rest of this year!
An essay on the symbolism behind cutting one’s hair. It is not just a choice based on aesthetics, it is a manifestation of what we release. How we let go of old patterns and mindsets to adapt new ones.
A contemplative poem about trusting your intuition. We often think of our five senses, those tied to our physical being. Our existence goes far beyond that, and the 6th sense is an unsung hero.
A republication of a poem I wrote back in 2012, that still rings true today.
A persistent search for meaning has been the bane of my existence, and at this stage of my life I fully embrace this quest with an open-ended curiosity.
I see this as a question that will carry on throughout my life. I am one of many.
