This weekend when hanging out with ‘my friend’ we had two human tarot cards greet us. One at the start of our meeting, at the dart station, and another one over 24 hours later at the end of our meeting, again at the dart station. The proposed purpose for our meeting was to do someContinueContinue reading “The Astral Plane Hopping Tennis Coach Fairy”

If I stop caring about my own wishes and desires, then I can accept and go with what life has in store for me and in turn focus fully on being a force for good in the world. It is possible for me to let go of that nail-biting, hair-pulling drama. The stuff of life.ContinueContinue reading “Dharma thought of the week”

A special community is forming in my city (Dublin) (is formed, is growing…) These are the singing dancing meditating sea-dipping tea-drinking loves-a-little-cheer has-the-occassional-beer wants-to-be-alive working-through-the-fear types ! This week involved a lot of pain and a lot of joy and I am feeling very GRATEFUL for all of it. There is no teacher like sufferingContinueContinue reading “Dublin Joyous Community & Buddhism Journey”

Today I rode on the back of a motorcycle for the first time. The wind blasting in my face, trees and cars whizzing by, the fellow driving was chanting. A big drum wrapped in a yellow Indian cloth was strapped to the front of the gnarly, flashy machine. I lived the contrast – the hippyContinueContinue reading “Motorcycles & Chanting”

This season of life is such a wonderous moment, so full of depth and growth; swift changes and peeling back of the cloaks between my conscious and my unconscious self. I have no choice but to face myself more clearly now. To stare down the shit and mess within me. That is what pretty muchContinueContinue reading “Fires, Temples, Challenges and A Very Special Snail”

So it’s all happening now. Now is the moment. The moment to step up and step forward. Pack up and seal off the past 23 years. Tie up all the loose ends. Resolve all things that need to be resolved with people. Time to honour all that I have been and lived and then layContinueContinue reading “Yes. I will take you on, life.”

Sitting here in the pub. Total daze. Is the dream I was in during last night’s sleep still happening in the background? If only I drop a little more out of consciousness I can drop back into that enticing dream and meet all those characters again… There is a mirror on the wall in frontContinueContinue reading “Freakshows And Foxes”

Connecting with people and embedding yourself into the tapestry of a place. Feeling part of community. This is so important. Here’s to more a year of deeper connection, in 2022!

In a healing process. Reminding myself of that great truth: that a loving life flows; is not sought and not gripped. It comes by invitation and stays with appreciation. Nothing beautiful is hunted and captivated. Have had many small wonders in the past few weeks. Ordinary weeks by all accounts, from the outside anyway. ButContinueContinue reading “On The Right Track, Grateful & Anticipating”

There is something so sorrowfully beautiful about letting yourself receive love…Today I learned something…As with many of life’s important lessons, the messages were transmitted in the most subtle form. It was the moment of sensitivity which opened me to them… But before I go into what I learned, I’d like to give a bit ofContinueContinue reading “Reflections On Cold-Heartedness And Opening Up On A Cold Winter’s Day”
