The Day is Ever New
Here is an article I wrote the other morning, sitting in bed as the day began... The Day is Ever New It's dawn. The birds are just starting to stir. The wind rustles the leaves on the trees outside my bedroom window and I can hear the sounds of the day beginning in...
Seen Through The Being of It

This is the meditation stool my uncle made for me. Nothing shows up as this beautiful creation. Why does nothing show up as something? Why not? It comes from nothing, returns to nothing and in between there is laughter, tears and words and pictures. Wh…

Emptiness is Creating Here, on this screen where these words appear there is empty space. As my fingers move over the keyboard, words appear on the screen. Something is appearing out of nothing. More and more I come to know myself as this emptiness ta…
Admit One – The Movie of My Life
Around this time three years ago my life as I had known it fell apart and not for the first time. Looking at my past as a story, it’s had all the hallmarks of a tragic/comic, bitter-sweet drama with all the familiar moments of tension, suspense, surprise, very human...
The Gift of Eternity
The Gift of Eternity Today, as the sun shone I noticed that I felt this day would never end. All through my life, especially as a young child, this feeling has visited. I've come to recognise it these days as a sense of the eternity we truly are. It's a blessed moment...
Look and Be
I was listening to the news on the car radio as I drove over to my friend’s house and there were reports of nuclear threats, financial crime and snow in England, in spring. There certainly was snow, falling in hurried flurries – a strange mix of spring and winter, for...

The freedom we long for is literally being everything that appears. This might seem confusing when teachers often say you are not what appears, you are not the feeling of sadness or the sensation of grief or anger. And while this is a good pointer and can bring about...
What You Really Want
"Well, tell me what you want, what you really, really want, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna..." The Spice Girls I never thought the time would come when I would be quoting The Spice Girls! But I could have...
The Flow of Being
We spend so much time and energy rejecting the reality of what is. A feeling of boredom or restlessness shows up and we want to work out why it's there or what it means or how to get rid of it. Sadness arises or anger or frustration and we want to analyse and process...
