    121. Befriending Uncertainty inside of This Great Cosmic Unfolding we call LIFE

    21/02/2026 | 29 mins.
    here are my fieldnotes from learning to fall in love with uncertainty again and again and again instead of resist and fear it:
    the point of life is not to figure sh!t out - and sometimes we have to get so lost in the figuring sh!t out that we have a great big wake up call that reminds us of that
    wherever you go, there you are
    life is continuing education. we are here to learn. to have fun. to enjoy. to explore. to LIVE.
    you don't find your purpose looking for your purpose, you find it when you let go
    puttering is very important. very essential. very necessary.
    there is time. there is always time. there is always far more time than you think that there is.
    the ultimate and grand cosmic paradox is that you learn to be at peace when you become at peace with not always being at peace
    i love you. thank you for being on this journey with me. for showing love, support, and your affections.

    119. You Were Meant to Love and You Were Made to Feel

    08/02/2026 | 43 mins.
    to remain tender is a gift.
    this episode is an exploration of everything i've learned about love.
    put simply:
    "we have all known the bliss of sunshine hitting our skin on a cold day, and we have all belly laughed until our breaths disappeared, and we have all come home chewed up by the world and sunken deep into a familiar withering, and we are all either healing from something or learning how to hold it, running from something or learning how to return - because we have all loved and we have all lost, and we have all mistaken losing for a promise that it was never safe to love. and we have all been wrong about that."
    - from my essay "let me remember you" which you can read here on my Substack

    118. Actually, Life is Beautiful and You DO Have Time.

    31/01/2026 | 36 mins.
    If the devil can't get to you, he will make you rush.
    "We think our limits live in the dreams we don’t chase, in the tasks we put off, in the emotions that we avoid - but they’re most alive in all of the small ways we deny our right to enjoy life.
    In the ferocious hurry between movements, in the relentless devotion to our False God of Control that promises certainty we never actually find.
    We yearn for love, but refuse to let life touch us. 
    Even when it’s right in our hands - fragrant, bright, asking only to be received, we mistake consumption for communion." - Realizations from Near Death
    Let this episode bring you home.
