About
Beholding
Beholding becomes possible when time is allowed to remain intact. It is the refusal to interfere with emergence.
Dec 23
The Cold Room
I stayed with what was real, not with the part of me that wanted relief instead of ground. Staying built something.
Dec 19
Containment and Air
Containment as a structural condition — and why misapplied stability creates pressure rather than safety.
Dec 15
The Pause
Pause is not interruption, but form: the necessary interval where truth, breath, and becoming realign.
Dec 11
The Shelf
Seeing the whole in you while you arrive in halves.
Dec 9
Exactness of Wondering
You feel the meaning before the words exist— how rare it is to be reached at the exact frequency of your own truth.
Dec 7
Truth Before Naming
Truth is not something we declare. It is something we live — long before we name it.

Behind the Clouds
They saw the light in me before I could.

Breath Before Time
Breath arrives before thought. Meaning registers before language.
Nov 28
The Monument
I stand there every day, like a monument— turning myself to concrete just to withstand the bullets of your wounds.
Nov 25
Old Thread
Some things remain without asking to be kept.

Happy Endings
Happiness didn’t fail — the demand for an ending did.
