The journal
Notes from the inward journey.
Five essays on perception, illness, the heart and joy. Plain words about what the deeper self keeps trying to say.
Perception is not reality
What you see is a report, not the world. Three filters shape it, and all three can be worked with.
The three layers of healing
A symptom is rarely the whole story. It is the last place a longer story becomes visible.
Two paths through chronic illness
When a symptom will not leave, there are two directions to move in. One goes deeper into the marsh. The other steps back and looks at the ground.
Why the heart breaks long before the body does
The people who carry everyone else are often the last to be allowed to rest. The chest keeps the record.
When playfulness heals what suffering never could
Joy is not a reward for finishing the work. It is information about what is still alive in you.
If a question has been waiting
Reading is not the same as asking
These essays are here to be read slowly. If one of them has touched something you have been carrying, the written reading is the place to take it further: three questions, and an answer written for you alone.
