Writings
Just Being
There is a kind of congruence in simply being here.
The Body Remembers
The collapse of this vulnerable structure I had worked so hard to keep together didn’t happen all at once but when it happened it was catastrophic.

We don’t have to force our traumatized minds and bodies into abeyance to notice the silent background of our existence. It’s here right now.
Love Calls Us Home
A beautiful and intimate journey from survival to simply being here.
