REFLECTIONS
A Note on the Journey
My work over the past seasons has been deeply shaped by the writings of Bernadette Roberts. Her articulation of the interior journey gave language to experiences I trusted but could not yet name. For that, I remain profoundly grateful.
What is unfolding now is a pivot from that year with her. The blog will still be reflective in nature, but focused on different material. Something lived more explicitly in the body, in relationships, and in the ordinary moments where patterns reveal themselves and something new becomes possible.
I find myself at a threshold. There is energy here, curiosity, creativity, a sense of alignment, and also a necessary unknowing. Rather than certainty, what feels most faithful is attention.
In this season, my writing and work are pivoting toward presence as a lived reality, often through the lens of the Enneagram, not as a system to master, but as a doorway into embodiment, awareness, and honest engagement with life as it is.
This space will continue to reflect on the inner journey, but with a growing emphasis on how that journey shows up in real time: in the body, in conflict, in growth, and in the courage it takes to stay present when old strategies no longer serve.
If you are sensing a threshold of your own, you are welcome here.
The Invitation to Discover
What these reflections offer instead is an invitation to explore gently, staying close to your actual experience as it unfolds. You might think of it as an experiment, or as the exploration of a new place. In either case, the point is not to get it right, but to discover what is true.
Tending the Quite Arrival of Awareness
When life feels "off," it’s often a sign of a deeper awareness coming online. Explore how to move from a frantic mind to a grounded, embodied knowing.
God Immanent in Man - Paragraphs 3 and 4
What if what is most real in us does not announce itself? What if learning to notice this “real” is less about effort and more about fidelity? How do we stay close to that which does not hurry, despite the busyness of the season?
God Immanent in Man - Paragraph 1
When the Presence that lives within us feels more like a black hole than a light, how do we trust it? This week I explore both Roberts and Metz on the terrifying grace of the unknown, and the quiet beckoning that can reshape a life from the inside out.
