I am a contemplative living outside the traditional contemplative culture. After training for seven years in 3 monastic traditions--I was drawn back into the world-at-large for further training in the arena of so-called ordinary life. After struggling for so long with the myriad ways my mind made me miserable I suddenly discovered I could be happy in spite of it and in fact I now consider myself a Happiness Expert.
Interests
- My adult life has been characterized by my spiritual journey and my interests tend to radiate from that core undertaking; i.e. the work of (simply) being Present has become the dominant state of being, one which underpins anything else I might be engaged in. Simple activities have greater dimension and the innate possiblity of enJoyment. Considering what my mind and my life were like when I started this path of self-correction, the difference is miraculous.
- I love to sing, to dance, to just make toast!
- write poetry
- or just watch raindrops sliding down the windowpane.
