Writing about consciousness, pleasure, and meaning. In love with the radical idea that nothing about anyone needs fixing. Committed to reading ancient texts with honesty and precision.
“With a mind that has nothing to lean on, touch the eternal ground of being. Envision your own self as pure space, open in every direction, enclosed by nothing.”
