I write about philosophy, literature, and culture, and how these map to a human experience.

The thrust of my work is to distill ancient wisdom for modern times, and modern people so we may all live better.

I do this through research, personal essays, or literary nonfiction, to sculpt words through a lived experience.

To me, this is the heart of a contemplative life.

You may ask, why write?

Being radical honesty on the page is not just an act of courage but the quickest way to cleave the egoic mind from the human experience. It is, therefore, fundamentally a contemplative practice.

Join me as we explore together what it means to be human, what it means to live well, and what truth, peace, and a contemplative life might be.
