Solitary meditative arts—bonsai, raking, arranging—aren’t hobbies.
They’re companions to QiGong + meditation.
Stillness through action.
Silence through form.
Practice doesn't always look like practice.

While discussing what next for the Contemplative Book Group @exetercathedral.bsky.social ...

all of a sudden
poetry flies – unleashing
our planning meeting

… but it could apply to any meeting
Give it a go!

I gave this one a title, which ended up being longer than the haiku!

*There is no failure, only learning. There is no learning without recognition of failure.*

this rocky road life –
sometimes it takes the biscuit
softened with chocolate

A final one about the environment for the moment, random word prompt: ‘sulphur’

Prince sang of purple –
coal-fired sulphur dioxide
powers acid rain

Of course, coal, oil and gas-powered carbon dioxide continues to power climate breakdown

We’re living in a culture where the old structures of meaning have collapsed. Presence is how we find the center again.

What I do before every Reiki session:

pause
breathe
let the mind settle
release the need to control the outcome

Reiki flows best from presence, not effort.

A story can shelter you. It can also become the cage.
My new essay, written with two therapists, on what happens when the story we tell about ourselves hardens into who we are.
The first in a new series: Couch and Cushion.

Being isn’t a state you maintain.
It’s a pulse you notice.

Catch yourself in boredom, hurry, pleasure, or irritation and see what changes.

Fastidious remembrance, not self-improvement.

Fastidious Remembrance: The Practice of Catching Yourself in the Act of Being
Being isn’t a state you maintain. It’s a pulse you notice. An invitation to catch yourself in the act of being, right in the middle of ordinary life.

It is easier to scroll than to actually see.
Most of what we call awareness is really habit running the show.
Presence costs more than we think.
