What is love when there is nothing to gain, nothing to lose, nothing to hold onto and no one to become? Not the idea of love. Not the memory of love. Not the longing for love. Just love itself. We often speak of love as something we find, receive, lose or give away. But is love a feeling that comes and goes? A relationship? An attachment? A need? Or is love something far simpler and deeper? Perhaps love is what remains when the stories fall away. When there is no identity or

What if the maps aren't here to tell us who we are, but simply help us listen more deeply? What is alive in you beneath the labels, identities, roles, stories and narratives? Can you feel it here, now? Lately, I've been reflecting on the many paths, teachings, and frameworks that have accompanied me over the years. Yoga. Astrology. Tarot. Ayurveda. The Celtic Wheel. Depth psychology. Meditation. Self-inquiry +++ Each has offered a lens through which to explore life, a languag

Often imagined as a destination, a future version of ourselves waiting to emerge. But what if the transformation is not something we achieve? What if it's the natural unfolding that occurs when we meet this moment fully, without resistance, without becoming? If life is already changing itself then, is there any need to do anything else except allow, witness and be? A butterfly rests upon the yarrow. One form meeting another in a fleeting moment that can never be repeated. We

How can you bring aliveness back into everyday life? Can you live from a place of openness, receptivity and curiosity? Can you embrace the unknown and allow life to surprise you? Can life become a meditation, living from a place of awe, beauty, gratitude and wonder, where the ordinary becomes extra-ordinary? If nobody ever used the words purpose, dharma, mission, potential, service, legacy, highest self again, what would you naturally want to do with this day? Not your life.

Why is it that we create more suffering for ourselves by resisting the present moment? The ebbs will flow again. The flow will ebb again. How can we embrace life's challenges and the pole we tend to avoid most, with greater trust, ease, acceptance and surrender? Life moves in rhythms. Expansion and contraction. Clarity and confusion. Connection and solitude. Creation and rest. Yet so much of our suffering comes from resisting the phase we're in. We want the wave to stay at it

Why do we think we need to accumulate more? More knowledge. More tools. More stuff. Will it ever be enough? What if all we truly need is to empty more? To what has already been present within us the entire time we have been searching out there. Waiting for us to remember. To see clearly. To come home. To be free. Why does the direct path feel the most liberating and peaceful? It's so simple yet even though anyone can access it at any moment it still feels there must be seeds

Once we start finding our way back to our purest nature, we will be so in tune with the natural cycles and rhythms of the earth and cosmos, we won't NEED to work with tools in order to detox, purge, cleanse, let go or to connect and open us. It just happens organically without you having to do anything but be PRESENT. You don't have to push, force or make anything happen. Just ALLOW life to move through you. I used to intentionally detox or cleanse, take drugs or plant medici

It's simple, yet profound. Before you open your eyes every morning, tune in to your inner awareness. Your soul. The observer. The witness. Say hello. And then connect with your senses. The first thing I do is practice stillness. I LISTEN to the morning sounds and just simply BE. I breathe. Then I FEEL and scan my body. I try to enjoy this as long as I can simply BE. And when I am ready, I open my eyes. By starting your day off with this simple practice, you are reminding your

What does it mean to live in flow? Have you ever had one of those days, weeks or even months where everything aligned so effortlessly? Where it all just connects? You decide you want a gig at a few new venues and write it down in your journal. The next day, you get a call from a friend asking if you're available to play at one of the very places you wrote down just yesterday. You decide you're going to take a leap of faith and move to a new place and all of a sudden you start
