This poem explores how our resistance to life can leave us feeling disembodied. Though nothing can exist outside of presence, we suffer deeply in our attempts to escape what is here.
With a short reflection, gentle music, and subtle sound effects, I invite you to feel whatever is present right now, without the story. Whether that is heartache, grief, loneliness, dissociation, joy, peace, or stillness—it doesn’t matter, as long as we stay with our direct, unnarrated experience of it.
Freedom, as I’ve come to know it, doesn’t come from making life more peaceful than painful. It comes from being able to be with both, knowing we are the space that holds it all.
A question you might like to reflect on is: What is it about me that is able to hold both joy and pain at the same time? Can you lean into that meraculous 'ability' - explore it gently, and offer your curiosity to it?
Thank you, sincerely, for helping make this space a reciprocal one.

If this work speaks to you, please consider sharing it with those who might find it meaningful. I left social media in 2022 and choose not to use advertising or promotion, as part of a slower, more intentional way of living and creating. Your word-of-mouth support means more than I can say. Thank you.
