About

.

Life has never been

ordinary to me.

.

I have a love affair

with life itself.

.

I am fascinated

by both the depth

and simplicity

of being alive.

.

Silence.

A bird singing.

A shared meal.

A loving touch.

Laughter.

.

Nature,

dancing,

real connection,

profound conversations

and solitude.

.

There have been times

when life invited me

to meet it more deeply.

.

I have faced

a life-threatening illness

more than once.

.

The question

was no longer

who I was,

but what I am.

.

What remains

beneath the body,

the story,

the roles I play?

.

What is still here

when everything I thought I was

can no longer define me.

.

Something deeply alive

and impossible to lose.

.

An awareness

of what I call

the soul.

.

Not as an idea,

but as a living reality.

.

This awakened

a deep inner knowing,

that there is nothing to fix,

nothing to become.

.

Only to remember

what I am:

whole and alive.

.

This life-changing experience

opened a new way of being:

to live more intimately

with the mystery

of what I am.

.

For I am

a mystic by nature.

.

I came to experience

impermanence 

not simply as a loss,

but as a doorway.

.

Rather than becoming

more afraid of death,

I fell more deeply

in love

with life itself.

.

With its fragility.

Its intensity,

Its beauty.

.

And with its wonder

of being here,

now.

.

In the years that followed,

the way I experienced life

began to reach beneath

the surface of things.

.

I opened up to

a clear way of perceiving,

a deep way of sensing,

through what I call my Zenses.

.

An attunement to

the visible and the unseen,

the earthly and the mystical,

beyond form, time and space,

beyond separation.

.

A reality I do not seek

to explain or solve,

but a mystery I live,

sense and express.

.

.

What I Zense

in this living mystery

finds its way into expression.

.

Sometimes through silence.

Sometimes through voice

or words.

.

Through colour,

image, texture and form

.

An oracular expression

of what moves beneath

the surface of things.

.

This way of expressing

still shapes how

I live, love and create.
