Reflections on waking up, staying awake, and being available
A quiet clearing in the noise—a space for deeper listening, lived insight, and the unfolding journey of embodied presence. Take your time here. Wander, breathe, listen.

The Heart of the Diamond

What happens when the search falls away and something utterly simple is seen? These contemplations speak to that initial shift—the recognition of who we are beneath identity, and the quiet wonder of beginning to live from that knowing.

The Path

The awakening of our essential nature is just the beginning. These contemplations explore the lived process of staying aligned with that knowing—meeting reactivity, softening resistance, and letting presence deepen through the movements of daily life.

Staying Awake

The Fruit

As presence matures, it begins to move outward—not as effort, but as a natural response. These writings reflect on availability as the essence of being: a way of living that listens, includes, and meets the world without ever leaving the heart of the mystery.

Being Available

The Boundless Nature of What We Are

Some contemplations aren’t interested in stages or spiritual progress. They come cartwheeling through the field—wild, rich, irreducible—laughing at our need for direction. This space honours the trickster currents of the divine, where insight moves in unexpected ways and aliveness refuses to be pinned down.
