Moving into the LightΒ
Inside the Ta Prohm temple, I found a hallway like this. It was a bit dark but with some side lightΒ Β provided in the early morning hour, the hallway offered an invitation to walk into the light at its far end.Β As I walked, I thought of its history & wondered about some of the memories embedded in its walls. I also felt pulled into the light as though I was walking into the infinite itself.
I felt the experience of being exactly where I was, in that momentβ¦both in the shadows and yet with the promise of light at the end of its tunnel like walk way. I heard my mind saying, βThis too; this too; all of it β the dark & the lightβ¦just keep going.β
Feeling the body walking. Feeling the heart, just as it is. Feeling awareness itself. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Just living this moment & walking into the light.

I recently sat down with InsightLA to discuss exploring the world around us β and the world within us.
A Conversation with InsightLA
I recently sat down with InsightLA to discuss the inspiration behind Ten Ways To Awaken the Wise Heart: A Photographic Journey, and touched on mindfulness and meditation, lessons learned from travel, my creative process, and the common threads that tie it all together.
I hope that this site will give you a felt experience of how I think, work, and relate in my psychotherapy practice as a mental health professional and in my contemplative meditation practice as a group facilitator and teacher.
