The Ego and the Black Hole
A spark of soul descends into matter — from pure energy into form, from light into flesh. Already, the soul is touched by resonance, by the lives around it, by love and by fear. By the time we take our first breath, the shaping has already begun.
Beyond the Octopus’s Grip: On Ego, Love, and the Courage to See Clearly

The Icaro We Never Thought We’d Share
There is a huge difference between medicine songs and icaros. While they can be lovely, medicine songs come more from the mind and do not inherit much power. In contrast, icaros are received directly from the plants during master plant dietas and can also spontaneously appear in ceremonies.

A Message From the In-Between
There are a few strange, quiet moments in life when you’re no longer who you were, but not yet who you’re going to be. That in-between space where the old version of you has fallen away, but the new one hasn’t landed yet. We’re in that space. Some of it is personal — letting go of relationships, roles, old patterns.

When I look at this chain of cause and effect I can only come to this one conclusion: The only way out of our dilemma is the way into the heart.
