I started keeping journals on and off around 2010. I’ve always felt there was a strong purpose behind it, but for a long time I didn’t understand it. Once I started to grasp it though, my journaling went from a couple of times a year to an indispensable part of my daily life. As IContinueContinue reading “The Power of Journaling: Listening to Your Inner Voice”

Finding Clarity Through Emotional Awareness
If I have a kryptonite, it’s a call-off. Man, when an employee calls off, nothing else in this world can get me riled up more than this. Over the years, experience has taught me to pay attention when things trigger me and cause discomfort. I have just found something gold—a true, everlasting treasure. Let meContinueContinue reading “Finding Clarity Through Emotional Awareness”
The Tower Card: A Mirror for Self-Discovery
The Tower represents sudden upheaval, revelation, and the breakdown of false foundations to make way for truth. The Tower card is often feared. However, if we look deeply, it can be an opportunity to let old structures that no longer serve us fall away. The Tower can become a magical mirror that reveals parts ofContinueContinue reading “The Tower Card: A Mirror for Self-Discovery”
Guardians of the Inner Gate: The Mind, the Dog, and the Fool
I’ve been giving thought to the symbol of the dog of the Tarot’s The Fool card. What’s interesting is that, as I contemplated the dog, dogs kept creeping into my experiences. Synchronicities and the Dog at the Threshold I had a run-in with a dog as I walked out of the forest during a photographyContinueContinue reading “Guardians of the Inner Gate: The Mind, the Dog, and the Fool”
Walking Meditation on Good Friday: Reflections on Nature, Photography, and a Synchronicity
When I walk, I often uncover unexpected insights; and my favorite walk is with my camera. Today was a warm spring afternoon, the kind that just calls to you. It would set me on an unexpected inner path as well. I went to the lake and got some great photos, and an unexpected introduction. IContinueContinue reading “Walking Meditation on Good Friday: Reflections on Nature, Photography, and a Synchronicity”
When the Forest Whispers: Stillness, Symbols, and the Integration of Self
Silence sometimes whispers back when we listen. As I walked through the forest this morning, it was quiet—a peaceful absence in the trees. It felt otherworldly, like drifting inside a half-awake dream. And in that stillness, a whisper began to emerge—not in sound, but in feeling. Suspended between light and shadow, like the world itselfContinueContinue reading “When the Forest Whispers: Stillness, Symbols, and the Integration of Self”
The Pull of Singularity
How Journaling, Spirals, and Self-Discovery Shape a Deeper Reality Isn’t it funny how we seem to learn the same lessons in life over and over again? For example… why do we create art? I’ve blogged about it more than once and written about it in my journals several times. Each time, I come to similarContinueContinue reading “The Pull of Singularity”
From Aphantasia to Inner Vision: My Spiritual Journey with Morning Glory Seeds

Some back story… I’m over 40 and have never touched any kind of illegal or recreational drug. I’ve always been firmly opposedContinueContinue reading “From Aphantasia to Inner Vision: My Spiritual Journey with Morning Glory Seeds”
Unveiling Patterns: Tarot and Subtle Energy
Over the past few months, I’ve been investigating a hidden structure beneath sensation—distinct, recurring energetic patterns that show up like signatures across the subtle body. I call them energetic fingerprints. Why should you care? Because if energy leaves a signature… it can be read, charted, and applied. These patterns began with tarot—tingles in my spine, heat in myContinueContinue reading “Unveiling Patterns: Tarot and Subtle Energy”
