Poetry/Prose with a philosophical, spiritual, and scientific bent.
Themes of consciousness, meaning, suffering, the I, spacetime, experience, the universe of Zen.
A new post every Friday (all poems for now).
Verbal snapshots of my daily life or whatever else may be on my mind. Mostly syllabic, occasionally ekphrastic (which is not the same as illustrative).
I write a new instrumental song every month and send it to you before anywhere else—join 7,900+ people turning to this music for focus, healing, and calm.
I am a published poet who has won and been runner-up in poetry contests. For years I took a break, but then I found another way of being a poet: on Substack. Here I post poems as and when. Subscribe for free / Freedom is poetry.
Once upon a time, I discovered I had many voices in my head and I needed a place to put them—then Substack came along.
